I just ordered some more nail polish racks to put on the 48 x 12 inch SS shelf that my mods are on, so I also ordered another SS shelf for my mods that I will mount above;

I decided to experiment with UPVC gutter fascia on the side of a cupboard to free up desk space.

Works a treat with mounting tape holding it in place.

I just found out why alot of you do your flavors alphabetically…idk how I didn’t sooner. I haven’t completed it yet…it is a big order to fill and it will take me hours but it makes things so much easier.

@ladycrooks I have tried EVERY possible solution, and they are didn’t work, made for harder mixing, slower mixing, etc.

After I got past 500 flavors, I had no choice but to sort by MFG, then alphabetically within.

I decided to alphabetize my flavors as well. To make it easier I take a small chunk of ten to twenty bottles, alphabetize that chunk and set it aside. I keep doing this till I have a few chunks, then I alphabetically merge two chunks together and repeat. I found it much quicker than performing a puzzle piece type search, one after another.

I have decided not to seperate alphabetized groups by manufacturer. Instead I’m doing it by bottle size/type. More by bottle diameter than anything as I will have bottles of varying heights but the same diameter alphabetized together. I’m using five groups as shown below. Each group will be stored in its own container design. so I will have five different types and/or sizes of containers. My stash flavor notes and a seperate spreadsheet will indicate the container/bottle type both in words and with color codes. I will apply a identifying “type name label” and a colored dot sticker to each container as well as an Encyclopedia type alphabet indicator.

i.e. Aa-Au, Au-Bi, Bi-Do, …, etc. .

15ml std Gorilla 91mm x 21mm
10ml std shorty Gorilla 74mm x 21mm
10ml Flavorah Red top 70mm x 21mm
10ml Unicorn Blue top 70mm x 21mm
10ml Molinberry uni red top 70mm x 21mm

2oz std Gorilla bottle 136mm x 31mm

1oz Gorilla 88mm x 30mm
1 oz uni 82mm x 30mm

15ml Flavorah white top 72mm x 25mm
10ml dropper 81mm x 25mm

3.7ml (1 Dr) dropper 63mm x 15mm

Spoiler: I will eventually post details with photos, a writeup, and design drawings of my alphabetized groups with respective containers. The container types are a combination of “hidden book” style and slide-tray type boxes similar to
Video cassette tape sleeves. They will all store nice and neat on a bookshelf. The system is intended to be low cost and forever expandable. It’s a “novel” idea if I say so myself. :face_with_monocle::books::vhs:

I also alphabetized my space. It was pretty difficult- as I can’t read very well… Ha!

It’s the only way to go! Toss that shit back in gallon ziplocs if you don’t. :smiley:

Some of the writing is so small I need a magnifying glass or stare at it a long time till I can figure it out. :older_man::mag_right:
