No, though some say you need glass or metal, you do not. I am using a 2.5 gallon square bucket currently that has a lid that seals. If acetone ate plastic, why do they sell nail polish remover in small plastic bottles! Nail polish remover is....acetone.

Boys, It will not melt a 5 gallon or the heavy plastic buckets. Take it to the bank. The vapors will melt the seal on the lids though.

have tried the Sterilite and it dries it out and cracks very quick.

Ya, I should mention I keep it in the shed, not in the house.....

look for containers that have hdpe or pp stamped in the bottom acetone does eat certain types of plastic PVC for example I'm not a big fan of flammable liquid in glass containers

[Bonez]

that will work just fine

[RD Martin]

antlerless or canines I have always used 5 gallon bucket with a lid but found out about the seal on the lid by accident. would be nice to find a good sealing container for stubborn/greasy antlered critters so it doesn't evaporate so fast.

Bonez do you use acetone?  If so.....Can you post some pics of your acetone set up?

Pictures anyone?

For the acetone I use a metal turkey fryer pot with a lid. It will fit up to a 19" bear lying flat and you can seal the lid by taping with blue painters tape. I check on the skull every few days and have had skulls soaking for up to five weeks in the acetone to remove stubborn spots. I have not recorded any serious amounts of evaporation. I can get any where from 3-5 bears done before I have to replace the acetone.

Where do you keep the acetone bucket?

silver skin i use the same setup as i showed you for the peroxide tub inside a tub both with lids or a 5gal Spackle bucket the lids fit tighter i cant find any tight fitting lids for the tubs. I run a strip of gorilla tape around the edge i will help seal the lid
