I don't use glass. I use Gatorade screw top bottles...after washing, of course. The PET stands up to mineral spirits well, they are unbreakable and, if you want, when you are done you can cut to top off to remove the chain. I find the 20 oz ones to be just about right. The cap seals quite well and you can agitate the bejebbers out of them. No need to scrub.
