Red face Tool Box Oil Spill?

Those of you with an across the bed toolbox - did you ever spill oil, or worse - gasket cement, or other nasty stuff in your tool box? Or even in your regular tool box? One solution - take a large (gallon size) Cheer or similar detergent bottle - the square kind with the handle, and cut out most of the top, leaving only the handle. Wash it out and put it in your tool box, to store the gasket cement, RTV, and all the other stuff that can "accidentally leak". Makes it easy to transport, too. I keep another for odd nuts/bolts, etc.

Milk jugs do well for that kind of thing too... great idea for tha application though... been done around the farm for as long as I can remember, but for whatever silly reason, didn't think to apply it there...
