White Scoop away kitty litter buckets

[zipflip]

another thing i was thinkin of is, do you know any farmers by chance? alot of them use alot of hydraulic fluid as well as oil and all sorts mech fluids and all come in big 5 gallon buckets.
my gpa has a whole heap of buckets and they liek a dark reddish brown. almost lightproof.
they're the round five gallon style tho.
he gets em in gray too i think and few other diff color ones too.
cant remember the stuff he uses to clean em out with tho but i guess its suppose to clean em up enuff to be safe to use as feed buckets when feedin the cows Oats. :confused2:

I do not think I would use them buckets Zip. I would be scared that the residue from the oil may get into my plants and I would end up smoking heavy metals.

with dwc using a liner would be to messy. I have four 1/2 cans of paint maybe use them for something but it will not be for my dwc system

flyinhigh....I don't think paint will dry in freezing conditions, I think it will freeze, I may be wrong though.

It wasn't freezing but it was cold and the sun was out 45 degree and it did dry by the afternoon and then placed into my warm shed to do the final cure.
Paint will dry as Long as you don't put it on heavy, I done this for years working on airplane & parts as long as the temp was 50 or above, below 50 I would do Light sprays of 3 or more as long as the sun was out..

Sorry Zip and Pcduck but any paint you find to do Plastic won't last long and they will chip after time, we have tried painting plastic on some aircraft with the Best stuff but it just doesn't last long when plastic twist and bend.. I know I will have to redo my buckets after this grow but that ok thou.

I bought square 21 qt (little over 5gl) trash cans from Meijers for 2.99 each, they were already black...just a thought.

I am a dumpster diver and i have come across a lot of 5 gal gray paint bucket and I had 4 white trash cans that fit right in my grow room better then my paint buckets, I wish I had more.

I work with what I got most of the time in til the plastic starts to break, which is funny because I have just thrown away 4 other trash can that I bought at the same time with the ones I am using now, Time, weather, means Cracking and thought about cutting them down to use as starters but with my Luck they would break and I would have a mess..

yeah i have many 5 gallon buckets that I have picked up along side the road, etc...I pick them up 1) cause it ticks me off when people throw out their junk like that, and 2) I use them for all sorts of storage, and outdoor plants. I just prefer square in my square space.
