Administrators Cory Posted October 22, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2020 My only fear is that I'd knock it over, if it was attached to a wider lego base plate, might be perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah what's up with that? Anybody found a fix for that? I mean surely we can make a lid that doesnt leak while we shake it for a minute 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishkeeper125 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I've heard of people contacting api customer service and receiving non-faulty test tubes. idk if true though, might be worth it to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSamsell Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I use the API master test kit & some test tubes don't leak when shaken, while others leak like a sieve. Dabbled quite awhile ago & inserted a small rubber O-ring inside one of the offending caps. It worked great, but only had a couple of O-rings that size laying around. It did stop the leak very well though.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
