I've used empty popup tubs in the past but they always seem to leak. Not nice finding your bag covered in glug. Can anyone recommend any decent tubs that don't leak?

Locknlock 180ml (rectangular shape) or whatever size you want, they do loads and round.
Years ago I only used a 140ml one Tescos sold, but I haven't seen them in a long time.

I must be far too tight, I bought a pack of six round tubs from Wilkinsons. the clips were too light. fortunately just a few tea bags loose in the brew kit.

Get some silicone rubber sheet and cut gasket discs to fit inside the lids of your pots. Also keeping things upright helps to avoid leakage.

The locknlock 180ml are £1 69 each (Amazon)....if you're tighter than that

If cost is important try these little red pots, loads on ebay. They dont leak with thick plugs, cant comment on runny dips of if not storing upright. I think those are 50ml. I kept mine in the float tube so they stayed tidy in my bait bucket.

Edit, those are the 140mm, last time I saw them listed was Sainsburys, anyone finds any let me know

I had a quick google for the locknlocks and the Amazon link directed me to ones priced at £2.40, enough to put me off searching for these..

Picked up some of these the other day. They have a good rubber inner seal (tested & approved with balachan paste..). I wanted something with a lower profile, so I can fit everything I need into a single bait bucket for short sessions. Seems like good quality plastic too.

I have a load of the Korda versions of them. Some leak, some don't.
It was quite a thick liquid that leaked too, LO30.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
