Others have mentioned the 'tea bags' etc. On another point, if you are using ethidium bromide primarily for nucleic acid staining, we have found people are pretty happy with GelRed (http://www.biotium.com/product/price_and_info.asp?item=41001&Sub_secti o n=09A ). Remembering after elimination, substitution is the highest form of safety control!
