Squeeze bottle caps

[Gary Beasley]

I was intent on transferring my shellac grain sealer from a glass bottle to a plastic squeeze bottle like condements are put in but lacked the caps for the tip. My son suggested using a wire nut and lo and behold a red winged wirenut was a perfect fit. The wire coil threads inside grip the tip quite well with just a little twist.

I tried those bottles with some finishes. They do not seal very well, the thinner does tend to evaporate. I tried some osmo finish in there, it set up in about a week.

The plastic bottles are prone to oxygen penetration so not so good for curing finishes. Works great for shellac though.
