Did you know medicine bottle labels are often easy to remove if each bottle is given a 10-15 second ride in a microwave before attempting to peel the label?I've convinced them to collect the large bottles and give them to me
The heat generated softens the adhesive. If it cools down after warming it may need to be rewarmed.
My father used to get empty oil cans from the local service stations. He cut the tops off, riveted them together and mounted them in a roll around A-frame fixture about 6'X6' with slanted shelves. He kept a lot of small parts and plumbing hardware sorted in those. The thing was dismantled years ago. Some of the old oil cans are now decorating a high shelf in my shop.
