How do you guys stop oil from leaking?

[StealthyBlagga]

I like to keep bottles of oil in my range bags. Unfortunately, pretty much every bottle I have tried eventually ooozes some oil out and it makes a mess. I've tried double-bagging the bottles in poly ziploc bags to no avail. Does anyone have a good solution?

My range bag has a dedicated pocket for oil bottles and they stay upright. Never had any leakage to worry about and I use Lucas lube which has a tight fitting needle tip and red cap. Fits tight and doesn't leak.

unscrew the cap and put a piece of plastic wrap over the opening and tighten the cap. I have used it for air travel for years.

I carry my oil in a flip top 2oz bottle.  that Breakfree CLP comes in, in a heavy gauge ziplock bag.

I've found two that work perfectly.  The Weaponshield pen and Lucas Extreme Gun Oil has a little 2 ounce bottle with a needle applicator.  Neither of those ever leak.

I use Ballistol in a spray can. I don't carry it in my range bag, but with the cap on there would be no chance of leakage.

for range/match use i just keep a small aerosol can of rem-oil in my bag.

Well I still have several of the small bottles of Brownell's gun oil that used to be given away at pretty much every major match I shot.. Keep them in my bag with just a screw on lid. Never had an issue.

All excellent suggestions, thanks. I will give them a try.

Little waterproof hard case.  Waterproof works both ways.

I have my plastic oil bottle with a plugged needle applicator inside a plastic vial with a screw on top.

^^^This. It works.

Pen oilers (decent ones) with the screw cap & O-rings.  Pen oilers inside a snack bag, inside a small gasketed tackle style box, stowed upright in range bag.  

Works best with 5W-20W.  30W works too, just takes more patience.

I dump these out and fill with motor oil. Haven’t had one leak yet

[terrydoc]

small plastic zip lock bag should contain any spillage until  you notice

I have 2 of these that work well.  I emptied out the CLP (into my larger CLP bottle, I use CLP to clean, but not to oil) and then filled them with Wilson Ultra Lube and Ultra Lube Lite.  Zero leaking issues.

These go inside a Tenba Cable Duo 4 with the rest of my range tools, springs etc.

That particular case fits perfectly in the front pouch on a DAA medium range backpack.

Good suggestions!

I refill eye drops bottles with oil.  Leak proof and dispenses - wait for it - drops of oil!

I ordered extra heavy duty Ziploc bags from Amazon that do this job for me.  Order 6 or 8 mil and look for a double closure.  The exact ones I ordered are no longer available but many others are.  I also leave a small (3"x 5") microfiber towel in the bag to give me something to wipe with.  

 

Good luck!
