I don't want a plastic one, i'm on a "plastic diet", so I don't buy plastic. And at the moment I do the bucket thing, but I would like to skip poring the urine from the bucket to the watering can. And I need a new watering can as the old one is at the end of it's life. How heavy a metal one is depends on what metal it is.
I don't put the Liquid Gold on the compost with a watering can ........... I dilute it with water and drizzle it on from the pail ............. works fine for us.

A friend of mine who works outside and does a lot of travelling in the work van came up with something useful .
He took and old wooden toilet seat, took a large bucket and placed the toilet seat face down with the bucket , rim side down, on top. He marked the rim of the bucket on the underside of the toilet seat and then partly screwed large screws into the seat around the line of the bucket rim so it could be placed over the bucket without slipping from side to side.

Thanks Pansy, but it is just 2,6 litres.

I don't put it on the compost, I dilute it and water the kitchen garden directly and with a bucket it's hard to portion it out.
