Could imagine with!? Whooooosh!
Although, it would give me something to do with it...I don't drink alcohol and hubby is more of a pub beer drinker.

a tin coffee container, should I use glass? I don't save the glass that goes in there, too small, but when a rod shock breaks from the heat ( not too often) I wait till cool and add to my save glass jar where when i get enough will make into frit. Hubby just got the metal rods and caps and made me a frit buster yeah

I'm thinking anything that works is good, you just have to watch for the rust to go through so you don't come out to a puddle on your worktop I'd think.

Just dont use water at all. It is really not necessary and it always seems to spatter on work at the worst times.

I use a glazed flower pot which used to house some tropical plant that my wife bought and killed The pot has a nice wide footprint so I can't knock it over and is squatty but holds about 3 to 4 cups water and is also pretty thick. I've smacked 38 mm rod on it to break off bad glass no problem.

Larry, it comes in handy when I am not careful, & get my fingers hot. I've never spattered any on my work, maybe because I use deep instead of wide ones? I don't use it a lot, never dunk my beads, but I do use it to cool my tools, shock glass of metal punties or the end off a stringer sometimes.

Julie, did you enter the give away I'm doing in the game room? My pottery pieces aren't perfect, but they won't get holes in them from hot mandrels!

That's brilliant advice....for just pieces you're pulling off for tweezers and assuming you clean it out each time and nothing crawled in there since the last time you were in the shop.
But if you need to crack something off the end of a rod or quick cool the tip of a tool, you'll want water.

I just rap the end of the rod on the edge of the cup and the tip breaks off at the stress line between the hot and cold regions. I never put tools in water. Never needed water at all. Try it you might be surprised.

I use a ss bowl. It's durable. Not too heavy and I never worry about burn through or cracking.

Old green bean can. When it gets yucky I drain it and throw it glass and all. Easily replaced.

I use an old plastic see through container. Like seeing the pieces! I don't drop the mandrel in until after the glass breaks off. Then I dump the water after every torching into any potted plant outside. Decorates the dirt!!

Stainless steel bowl large enough to dunk my hand in here... should there be a need, of course. Anything that goes into it is trash/scrap glass, I scoop it and fill a yogurt container so I can at least close the container before trashing it.

I use a bottle cutter to recycle wine bottles. Sand the top with 80 grit sand paper to get rid of any sharp ridge where you have cut the top off and they make perfect holders for scrap glass, glass rods , stringers, punties, etc. I cut them to all different heights to fit what ever I am using them for. A great way to recycle.

If you are talking about the bead gone wrong dunk, I use an old olive jar because it's tall and the water doesn't evaporate and no pets can get their nose in it. When I get ready to dump, I usually put a paper towel in strainer and dump, then I wad up the paper towel and toss glass and release in the trash.
For frit, I use an almost flat bottom stainless steall bowl I stole from my kitchen because I like to try to mash some of the bigger bits down with a pestal.

i went from using quart size mason jars, to using an empty salsa jar (free, great price) but got sick of breaking them when i tap off.
now i use a large soup can, well, kidney bean can. it's the right price, and won't break if dropped or manhandled too much.

Kinda surprised by this thread and how many folks are OK with quenching a burn in old stale water. I never quench a burn as I find it just causes it to blister which only increases the time required to heal. Anyone worry about infection?

Larry, I never thought about it, just looked for something cool to stick it in. The skin wasn't broken on any I could fit in there and my water isn't usually too bad, I change it out every few sessions.
I can see that if the skin was broken that would be questionable though, but I've only had two, and both on my forearm, and didn't fit inside a bowl.
