Benzine / alcohol jar / cleaning cup


Recommended Posts

For most of my cleaning I use an ultrasonic with L&R chemicals, but I still like to clean my balance and jewels separately.

Like most of us I think, I started with this inexpensive glass "alcohol jar:"

Which works okay, but it doesn't have a flat bottom, it's kind of big knocking around my desk, and the lid doesn't seal at all, which causes my expensive (but effective) hairspring dip to evaporate very quickly.

So I briefly thought about upgrading to the Bergeon benzine cup until I saw the price tag.

This guy was a little too fancy for me...

I did a bunch of searching around for benzine jars, then I decided to look on the scientific glass website and found the magic search words: "low form weighing bottle."

Even the made-in-USA Pyrex one is a third the price of a Bergeon.

Just wanted to share for those like me who are happy to pay a premium for quality, but not happy to pay a premium for a brand name.
