Jars

Gallon-size plastic jars such as the ones shown are excellent containers for PVA, mixture, and methyl cellulose. Plastic lids are preferred over metal ones, as condensation on the inner surface of the lid can be considerable, and even with the shield of plastic sheeting we always use (seen in image), metal lids eventually tend to rust.
