yeah man i went dumpster diving. not familiar? alright i will break it down for you right now. lets say there is a kinko's near you. kinkos works with alot of paper, and im sure they are left with plenty of scraps that they cant be arsed to keep and recycle, so they toss it. now you go behind the building where the trash bins and dumpsters are and rummage through it. you will find some paper that can be used for wheatpastes, stencils, etc. now with the hotel, they distribute the soda's to their customers, after they are done they throw them in the trash, and i went and recieved them. dumpster diving is a good thing.
though i have plenty of clear bottles as well as blues and greens, with my inks i dont care much about color. i just throw my best staining shit together and write with it. when i want a dope color i will use rusto bucket paint. why do you like wide mouth jars better? it makes it more difficult to pour into a small marker. anyway, whatever floats your boat.
