homemade oil can

 by sharlston
well not much to say really i needed a precise oil applicator to lubricate very small bearings so i made one from a lighter fluid bottle i sanded the paint off and wrote what oil it contained at the moment its full with 80w 90 gear oil and it perfect

enjoy

thanks for the comment the only problem i have with the can so far is it leking between the joint of the red nozzle and the white cap as it has freedom to move so i have filled it with resin as you maybe able to tell would this be of use to you? if so please biuld it

Resin won't stick it, you're squeezing too hard. For really light-oiling this'll be good, but if you want more out of it widen the nozzle.
