that even if a large number of our museums got together and purchased, it still wouldn’t be worth them resurrecting the mold. This was some time ago but if there is enough interest I am happy to try again to see if anything has changed.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

an acceptable option that would satisfy most needs. If everyone got together and had a big enough order would one of the supply companies due a limited run? It’s not something I use at my current institution but have in the past.

Two alternatives that folks have been using are stainless steel tanks or polycarbonate storage pails from University Products -
