I had to look up a video about pouring from the square metal solvent cans. I just wanted to share it because I've put off looking up how to pour from these cans many times only to forget about it until the next pour. I was pouring acetone over molecular sieves.

I also learned that acetone shouldn't be stored over molecular sieves.
