Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 You don't have to paint or cover your bottles unless they are sitting out where day light hits them.. on many of mine i have a big bottle and pour into a smaller bottle to use with an dropper... but I have some other jars I either use a dropper or tablespoon in to dip it out ... you could even pour some out ...

I usually paint jars though of course I have not had any herbal stuff to put into them. Also, I imagine that the tinctures would need a dropper bottle or would just the dropper itself suffice? Thanks Hope everyone is having a great day Sunny here but brrrrrrrrrrr Toni Amber mostly... I've had most for years... I do like specialty bottle company.for their small bottles.. I am always on the look out for jars... thrift and second hand shops are good places.. Blue is good.. dark is only better than clear if out in the light.. as long as it's glass and in a dark cabinet it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do whatever you wish with your jars and bottles. If you have them in a cupboard, closet, or under the bed then you probably won't need to worry about painting them. If they are going to be sitting where the sun shines then you will want to paint them, paper them, or use amber some such dark colored glass receptacle. For tinctures, a dropper is nice but not a necessity. You can put your tinctures into larger labeled jars and pour into smaller dropper bottles as needed. -- Peace, love and light, Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 You don't have to paint or cover your bottles unless they are sitting out where day light hits them.. I keep my original quart jars of tincture in either a cabinet or a cardboard box. I then pour some into amber dropper bottles if I want to conveniently take some with me. I must say I am pretty lax in straining them. I have some big jars that have been sitting 8 months and I still haven't strained them. Guess it just gets stronger??
