    Red wine bottles and a manual vacuum pump, works great.

    I just yesterday bought three nice Schott glass reagent bottles on EBay, biggest was 1 L , then 750 & 500ml.
    Cost me £10 plus postage.

    Lab Safety Supply has a huge selection of chemical containers, including brown glass.

    I have a friend who drinks horrible cheap, low alcohol sweet wine he buys at Walmart, cheap! I clean them up, ordered some nice Polyseal, conical phenolic lids. They work perfect.
    I don't use these much as I usually "rack off" XTOL into 1 L and progressively smaller bottles. I use PET and glass bottles.

    I've been using stop loss bags for storing XTOL. Works great. 1 liter each and you can squeeze any air out as you use it up. I've had XTOL stored this way for well over 6 months with no issues. YMMV.

    After mixing XTOL (or its equivalent), I pour it in stoploss bags, 1L per bag. It is easy to squeeze out air from them.

    When I used Xtol (now make Mytol myself) I used it at 1:1, filled out 250 ml glass bottles with 150ml stock, and filled the bottle to the brim with water and cap it (had also 250ml stock + water) . When I needed 300 ml 1:1 (for 35mm) I would take a bottle and enlarger the volume to 300 ml. Never had a problem, and most likely overkill.

    best,

    Cor
