I completely forgot that I do this too. The syringe that I use to measure
small amounts of both Cyanotype portions won't fit well into the bottles in
which they are stored. By pouring a small amount into a small cannister, the
syringe dips in very easily. The excess amount can be poured back into the
bottles and the whole thing cleans very easily.
