Just tested it out, polysytrene take away tray/container make great raw honey serving dishes for test tubes or outworlds, when cut into the right shape.
If you size it right it has enough of gap underneath to edge a featherweight forcep under to pull it out in a test tube.
And won't leak or dampen like foil and wax paper will eventually, or flip over.
Also washable and resuable
Polystyrene foam cup might even be better, due to the slight curve, hugging test tubes better, and pooling the honey towards the middle

Plastic bottle caps like from water bottles or a diet coke work great.
