Sometimes you can get empty paint cans at professional paint supplies
stores. They are nice as they are clean and shiny.

Thanks for the tip!

Yes. I did that The new can had a plastic type coating on the inside
to prevent any possible leaks and corrosion, a great improvement over
cans of yesteryear that leaked on to the floor over time. Same story
for the lid., Cost me something like $3 and well worth it.

The hole in the lid of a Heathkit Cantenna was to allow for expansion
due to heat buildup in the oil during heavy use. Make sure you allow for
this expansion in any sealed container if you roll your own cantenna.
