I recently started using beer caps as little mixing cups. They work great for mixing paints, putting CA glue in them for "dipping" parts. They are easy to clean or just throw out. They have a nice sharp edge to remove excessive paint from your brush. This will give you a good excuse to drink more bottled BEER or soda! Woo Hoo.

Its a very good idea, great recycling. You can also use them for a pastel dust collector too.

(To the tune of Auld Lang Syne...)

More beer, more beer, more beer, more beer......

That's perfect... modelling, drinking beer, and... recycling! And you know, I'll bet if we all put our heads together, we can even come up with some other uses for the caps, too.

Hundred bottles of beer on the wall! Hundred bottles of beer!


Also save those caps from those plastic pop bottles for the same use.
