In Response To: Re: clean the resin containers (Acors)

: but medical and veterinarian supplies are sterile, no contaminants,
: anything that wasnt sealed with the assurance of being sterile get cleaned
: with a solvent before the first use.

that's exactly what i thought too:
i had sealed syringes from a medical supply store, that i presumed would be used by others for medical purposed - and got fisheyes. Now this was NOT a controlled experiment, and for sure a whole lot of other things could also have caused the problem, but i had learned the bitter experience of using new and unwashed mixing containers some time previously and had some hightened awareness of the issue. Upon washing, that particular occurence stopped - (incidentally i use a pile of syringes).

this for sure is an anecdote, but it doesn't take more than a few minutes of washing (while yr washing the mixing containers, heh heh) to eliminate another possible.
