how do you store bulbs?

[omega]

if you like me and get through a few cars then strip them before they go to the scrapyard have you got any good ideas on how to store bulbs?
thanks

Carefully.... what about some foam and cut slits into it and stick the bayonet end into the foam (that's what they do in a spare bulb kit that I bought years ago when going to France).

I give it ooooooooh... about three posts before someone comes in and pretentiously points out that bulbs are planted in the garden and lamps are used to light stuff up. There's always some pompous pedant who...

oh . As you were

I bought loads (around 60+) plastic storage containers from Ikea to tidy up small parts and use some of them for bulbs. Unless you are heavy handed / kick containers around like a football then bulbs are perfectly safe to be stored loose in such boxes.

I use a big old pickle jar from the local chippy. Sods law says the one I want is always at the bottom.

I have loads of the plastic sweet tubs from my local shop and just put them in, no foam or anything.

I generally just park up the whole car. Really must clean up some of the wrecks one of these years.

In a plastic box, just don't throw the box about and wipe the glass with a clean rag before fitting.
