Tins for billycans.

Hello everyone,

I've been meaning to make a billycan for a while, but I read that there's a plastic lining on the inside of a lot of tin cans, especially the ones that contained acidic food, like tomatoes. Does anyone know of any cans that don't have this lining? Or, alternatively, is there a way to remove this lining?

                                                                                                                         Thanks, Jelena.

I found a large milo tin in my parents shed. It is unlined and would make a great billy. it has a click down lid so it has multiple uses i.e carrying water/equipment as it is water tight. I'm going to try and attach a handle without making any holes in it.

As kids we used a big old peach tin, never had any problems with taste or side effects that I know of.
