I store my glass in plumbing pipe, white for 104, black for boro. Also I have bits and bobs of silver glass and 96coe kicking around and for that I use Pringles tubes, or the new Doritos stackers that are triangle shaped. Not sure what the equivalent is in the US? They are tubes of crisps/potato chips that are all the same shape, stack together, and are good for dipping in salsa etc. The Doritos ones are nacho crisps/chips in triangular shapes and therefore come in a triangle tube. Hope that helps.

Oooh, also these tubes are great for making shards. As they are foil lined they dont burn, and you can knock off your blown ball of shard material and safely leave it to cool. Or use a tool to smash it in the tube and it offers some protection from flying shards.
