If you have a single speed dremel go to a sewing machine repair shop and get a
used sewing machine pedal for it. They have ones with standard plugs and they
are usually cheap.

Vallejo sells their paint bottles empty. I just bought some from
Warweb, $1US each. Kind of pricey but nice bottles.
Alternatively, check out:
www.western-plastics.com for similar eye-dropper bottles. You'd have to
call them to order, but the price is much cheaper. One member of the list got
50 bottles for about $13.00.
I posted this message to a yahoogroup and it hold some relevant information to

I called them, got some pricing. I also put together the amounts the "most
mentioned" manufacturers bottle their paints in, for comparison's sake.
.5oz/14.79ml Bottle, dropper and cap: $0.24US
1oz/29.57ml Bottle, dropper and cap: $0.27US
2oz/59.15ml Bottle, dropper and cap: $0.32US
The bottles are "Boston Rounds", the droppers are "Eyedropper dispensers" and
the caps match up to the droppers. The droppers and caps have to match up to
the bottle size, but the 1oz and 2oz bottles
use the same dropper/cap. The bulk discounts don't kick in until you
buy 1000 units... Note that when you call for your order, that they price and
sell the different pieces seperately, so it's $0.12 for a 14.79ml bottle,
$0.05 for the dropper and $0.07 for the cap. Also note that they can change
their pricing if they want to... so don't go whining "But Flak said..." if
it's different. *grin*
Vallejo: 17ml GW: 12ml Reaper: 22ml Testor's: 14.79ml (Model Master Acrylics)
PollyS: 14.79ml or 29.57ml (depends on color, made by Testors)
