Re: reallly cheap brown bottles

Bogdan,

Yes, some are not to be exposed to light. The sensitizer for Carbon printing 
for example. I use the glass bottles for storing chemicals for Cyanotype, 
VDB, Pyrocat, Potassium Ferrocyanide, etc. Probably not necessary in all 
cases but you can get them in small sizes. Like you, I like the look. I end 
up with a lot of 4 to 8 ounce bottles for low use chemicals.

Real alchemists use glass (:-).
