French's the better Hoppe's #9 lid

Tip/trick I picked up in a brief moment of brilliance a few years back while throwing out an empty mustard bottle.

leaks like a 5 year old when you hold the bottle sideways... bad idea.

@rdakessian well to each his own. The bottle leaks with the factory lid from the moment you remove the factory seal. This is to aid in the application of Hoppes to your gun/patches. Being rude will get you nowhere.

I like it, but does the Hoppe's eat either the plastic or pull the dye out of it?

@snatale1 Not so far, I have been doing this for a while and haven't had that yet. It doesn't contact the lid all the time so I think it's OK. I have had it eat a Rubbermaid brand plastic tupperware. It turns cloudy and thick so I assume it's eating the rubbermaid, but it is sitting it in all the time. Thanks for watching.

Dude, great idea! I have an almost empty mustard container right now! Does it seal well like if it gets knocked over??

@NeoPrepper wayyyyyy better than the original lid that leaks like hell if it tips over. but yes, this is a very nice solution.

Just saw this vid. Very clever idea. I just turned over a whole bottle of Hoppes #9 on my back porch. Stained it bad. Gonna try this. Thanks.
