carrying meths

As it's flammable I use a Nalgene bottle rather than an unknown and potentially unreliable container and I've never had one leak or break.

Hence a nail varnish remover bottle. It is flammable nasty stuff so the bottle must be sound.

I've been using a Platypus Little Nipper bottle for many years now, never had it leak, even when left in a draw for nearly 2 years. You can get a screw to close squirty cap for them which makes filling a stove or using it to prime easy. Half full you can squish it inside any odd space.

Do you happen to know where the lil nipper is to be had these days, tombear? I can't seem to find one anywhere

 

[tombear]

Ive not bought one for years and looking at their website it would seem that the smallest they now do is a 1/2 litre job, which is a backwards step as far as im concerned.

So I better strt taking better care of mine, looks like they will be a bugger to replace.

Thanks for the info, tombear...............Oh well, I should be used to this by now; even when I see something I've been searching for in the supermarket it's gone the next time I go to look for it!

Mmwah Test Tube Shot 20ml. available at all good off licence/ liquour stores
handy size for when mother nature is being abusive and doesn't want you starting a fire after she's gone to all the effort of making it rain.
