As I guess many of you will, I've accumulated a lot of spray bottles (QD, APC, tyre cleaners, glass cleaner etc etc) and they're currently all in the bottom of one of my cabinets which is a PITA to get them out, put them away again.
Maybe I'm just lazy but has anyone got/seen any kind of storage solutions anywhere? I do have some spare timber and planned to build a shelf across the back of my workbench but before I do anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks guys.

Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: New Castle, IN Posts: 904 | I've been trying to find a cabinet / bottle rack for some time now. One that's about 4" deep, would hang on the wall & has doors. That way I could store aerosol bottles as well as trigger sprayers.
I've seen the ones for race trailers, but don't want to drop $200 on a small storage cabinet. I've thought about just buying a standard wall cabinet, slicing down the sides & shelves & reattaching the back of it.
Anyone seen anything like I'm describing?

Check this link... http://www.tachyonmotorsports.com/bottlerack.htm
I used to make these racks, but stopped due to low demand.  If there was a need, I could probably have a dozen or so made for the Autopia guys? I'd guess that this size would run around $200 or so, but if it was just powdercoated it could be significantly less (this was 1/16" thick stainless).
Let me know, drop an e-mail and we can work something out...

My clothes hangers are on the other half of the bar. And the latex gloves on the coat hangers are my QEW gloves.
