For those of you that keep your BLL in a ketchup bottle ( my favorite container for BLL )
______________________________________
Let me caution all of you on something.
Some have complained about BLL getting thick on them after they have mixed it.
The little " snap shut lid " that comes on these ketchup bottles may work well with ketchup, but that lid is worthless with BLL.
Throw that useless thing away and find a sheet metal screw that fits the inside dia. of the neck of the bottle well. Wind it in with your fingers until it is " snug ". I've had a bottle of BLL sitting on my bench for over 2 years that uses this system. The viscosity of the lube has changed very little ( if at all ).
The secret is keeping the solvent carrier that is in BLL in the bottle and not to allow it to evaporate and escape. I also like to wrap a couple of wraps of Teflon tape around the threads on the top of the bottle that the lid screws down onto. This keeps everything air tight also.
I also keep my bottle filled to about 85 - 90 % fill level. ( Less air in the bottle )
