let us know how the tsi 301 does in the plastic bottle!
Where did you get those bottles?
The dark caps Look just like my Oust Met-ol Bottles..
I save them also, and put the 301 & 321 in them...
I Have had 301 in one of those for close to a year, its doing fine...
Refiled it dozens of time...

Me too. The only problem I have is that the label I put on doesn't last.
Magic marker will also be no match for 301, but the plastic bottles are doing just fine.

LMAO....
I Have the same problem with Label!!!!
Using Masking tape with Marker pen..
Man the 301 gets into everything & cleans it!!!! LOL

As long as the bottles are HDPE they should be just fine. I cut plastic milk jugs off and use the bottom 4" for lots of things with solvents......nothing touches them....including the TSI 301 I've been trying. As I think I said somewhere else......most if not all of the natural gas pipe in north america is HDPE - should tell you something about it's chemical resistance.
When would you need to use precision oilers? i still cant think of anything i could use them on.

rollers on your rods, handle knobs on your reels as an example, anywhere you need to deliver a precise amount of lubricant or penetrant, WD40 don't work!

I strip MY reels down to the bone so i wouldnt need these but if its for someone else they should come in handy lol.
That's exactly how I apply bearing oil also. Get mine from a RC store, they just throw them out when they're empty!
Perfect for applying just a scant drop to bearings . . . too much oil is horrible for freespool.
Good idea Jim. I gotta go to the RC store. Maybe they will save it for me if I trade for case of soda or something like that so it stays off the books, and something for their efforts.

I find this little pen oil dispenser invaluable for the above applications.
