about making a bottle that doesn't leak?

The more it leaks the quicker you have to buy another bottle.....

Leaky bottles mean you run out faster and have to buy more.

Hoopes = leaks it is tradition.

What is so hard about understanding that you get a bottle and it will get all over? It is just the way it is or transfer it to another bottle.

What kind of Hoppes are we talking about?

This bottle of gun oil tends to leak a little, but not a lot - http://www.midwayusa.com/product/126157/hoppes-9-gun-oil-2-1-4-oz-liquid

This bottle of solvent never leaks though

That is not a leak, that is so you can splash it on for aftershave.

I got one that doesn't leak.  Cap screws on tight and doesn't over tighten and pop off the threads.  I reuse it and keep filling it when I run out.

I think it works just fine as a solvent.  But I have still looked out for an affordable alternative to avoid this problem and have an easier way of applying it to patches.  I'll pay more for good lubricant like TW-25b but won't pay for over priced solvent.

LOL



I just look at them as sort of like the Glade flameless scented candles that I can also use to clean guns

They did:

Amazon, since it's not on Hoppe's website



It's a helluva lot cheaper @ the PX if yours stocks it.  It doesn't leak, however, all the way to Iraq & back, C-130's, C-17s, etc.
