[Histonet] Super spice racks??

[Paul Bradbury]

Our solution to this same problem is:
Give each product a code number (acid fuchsin is A-1, Acridine Orange is 
A-2, Light Green SF Yellowish is L-4, etc).
Create a master list of all the dry dye powders and their alloted code 
number.
Stick a label with the code number on the lid of each bottle.
File the dye bottles in drawers with dividers (A - C, D - F, G - I, 
etc). Cardboard dividers held in place with duct tape work just fine.
To find a specific dye, check the master sheet, scan the labels in the 
appropriate section of the drawer ... and voila !
It's easy, it's cheap and it works!

They're in no particular order so we waste time pulling out bottles trying to find the one we want.  We think we need a super spice rack of some sort to organize these bottles.  Can anyone suggest something that has worked for them?  Thank you very much!
