Good Morning,
Excellent point about flash points.
Once again, I'm late to the parade with a suggestion.
For years/decades, I used 500ml dark amber chemical storage bottles.
These have caps with Nalgene/related seals which have stood up to a
variety of nasty liquids with no problems. These, I carried vertically
in a hard-shell case, separated by custom-cut foam.
Someplace along the line, I started using 250ml Nalgene bottles for the
same thing. These latter have the advantage of being not only
(virtually) nasty-liquid-proof, but also, being able to be simply dumped
into a box and carried...no special treatment other than to keep things
out of direct sunlight.
In either case, not overfilling the storage container will help minimize
leakage.
Among other vendors, the above are both available from either of the
sources David mentioned earlier in the thread.
Obviously, YMMV.
Kind regards.
Horace

In a few minutes a seal is created that will last at least several years - assuming you have fruit guts in it. Like I said, I've never tried this with acetone, so I'm not sure if it would work here or not.

Currently, since I don't use the voicing mixtures but occasionally, I end up discarding the contents of the jar for each job, since the evaporation between uses creates an unknown dilution.
