The GBL Megathread

[lady grey]

Does anyone else's GBL containers turn into disgusting plastic rotting cesspit within a day of having it? I'm fed up of it being rank. I'm tempted to buy a metal spirits type holder thing and pour it all in there and then use a pipette with that. Anyone do anything similar? Would any metals or coating be affected by GBL?

I had that happen to me the other night Completely melted the bottom of the bottle of the container and lost a lot of gbl and varnish on my side table. Should have known better.

Anyway, in australia we use bubble blower containers to keep gbl and it doesn't melt the plastic and can last a long time. (Will try and find out why as i'm not sure, it's just the way i've always seen it) Metal would be annoying i'd think because you couldn't tell how much was left.

^Use any bottle that says HDPE on the bottom, and it won't melt. Plastic milk bottles in the UK are made of the same stuff. I assume the ones there are, as well.

Thanks for the tip

for the win. why fuck about with plastic when you can have glass?

For all my portable GBL needs - they even come with their own measurer

The stuff I ordered looks like that pic but a blue bottle.. hope it is glass

When it's delivered it just comes in a standard HDPE bottle so I just fill my little travel pack as and when required. They're pretty easy to find, I'm sure. I get them off my mother cos she uses them for rescue remedy .

I want to live in europe! In australia GBL is highly illegal and if you are caught importing it, well it's max 25 years in prison.

(btw, hope it's okay me invading your territory here )

i dissolved some of the plastic touch-ring button bit on my iPod with GBL.


LAME.

The rubber right click button on my laptop has a perfectly formed circular hole the size of a droplet from a pipette.

The stuff also served brilliantly to remove the logo from my computer mouse that I no longer wanted to have to look at.

 

[B9]

^ I was under the ( obviously erroneous) impression you had foresworn GBL.

 

[cherrycolouredfunk]

Who? Me? I'll answer anyway.

Why yes. I gave the rest of my last bottle away.

 

[The_Idler]

ok, you told us once already that you don't like it.

 

[cherrycolouredfunk]

^ WTF. I wasn't making a point to anyone. I was probably replying to a comment by B9 that wasn't intended for me but fitted with something regarding who I gave the bottle to!

 

[B9]

Who? Me? I'll answer anyway.

Why yes. I gave the rest of my last bottle away.

Ta


The person you gave it would quite happily return it - so I understand :D

It served a useful purpose at the time - but that time has.............. passed.

 

[cherrycolouredfunk]

That's quite alright Person may keep it incase there is any cleaning to be done.

 

[The_Idler]

^ WTF. I wasn't making a point to anyone.....

ohhh, heheh sorry!

thought B9 was actually talking to kara...

 

[cherrycolouredfunk]

So did I after I'd started typing a reply but then replied anyway. Doh!
