They fitted in well amongst the stillsons of assorted sizes.

Duly sprayed with a little WD40 and some engine oil.

I recall spending weeks cleaning out a 2 litre measuring cylinder that had some “stuff” at the bottom.

Eventually it was clean, then fell over & knocked the top off, making a 1.5 litre measuring cylinder.

We won’t mention what happens when you mix pcb resist stripper with a FeCl in a mislabelled 5 litre drum: think a brown frothing volcano & you won’t be far wrong.
