Gazzar Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I've bought a 5 litre bottle of wd40, and it came with a spray bottle. Which leaks when I use it, the liquid ends up on my hands, as well as where I want it to be. Is there a decent version of these spray bottles about? Or a repair that works for this one? G.

davie Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 i bought a wurth pressure sprayer bottle, think holds a litre for brake cleaner and its never leaked yet. not cheapest but seems really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zardos Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Really need something with Viton Seals for chemical resistance and they are not cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuki Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I use one of these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/sx-cs5-white-black-pressure-sprayer-5ltr/7490x which is fine for spraying WD40 and also my old-engine-oil-thinned-50:50-with-heating-kerosene spray-it-on-all-over chassis-rustproofing mix. Waxoyl's a bit too thick for it though, even when thinned and warmed in a bucket of boiling water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 All great suggestions and useful for larger situations, all I'm looking for is something small, 500ml to a litre, for squirting on bolts, finger trigger. Like a slightly less wasteful can of wd40. There is a little wurth spray bottle that I might try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwakers Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 for wd40 these work well... https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Silverline-427579-Sprayer-500-Ml/5031172108?iid=223465390346&chn=ps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best hack I've done a sprayer like that is plumb in a PCL air socket like https://www.screwfix.com/p/pcl-ac21cm-airflow-male-coupling-socket-bsp-taper-male-thread/ Then just turn the air reg down to below max pressure of container and connect up to my compressor and then spray the fence with it 🙂 No hand pumping, bad spray patterns, just constant air at a good pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 These have viton seals. I could get a few and have one at the lathe, the drill and the benches. http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=132894360733&category=179462&pm=1&ds=0&t=1545308810000&ver=0&cspheader=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I know it’s a bit bigger than you want, but I’ve got one of these and it’s fantastic. Lives with brake cleaner in it. https://www.frost.co.uk/chemico-compressed-air-sprayer-pump-action-pressure-sprayer-cleaner-degreaser-1-5-litre.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwwODlBRDuARIsAMy_28XLpMk1rKmy5q1zgsZJUJ-ckQnJZvLHT8ujb2Bynx6eVm4CR3vUxiMaAjsMEALw_wcB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 These https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wurth-Pump-Bottle-Brake-Cleaner-Dispenser-1ltr-/191108236580 seem to have come down in price a fair bit. I bought mine years ago. They are prone to falling over too easily through. The one Ross linked to looks a bit more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same - they do fall over, yes, but another problem I have is inapropriate spraying when I pick it up and catch the trigger....

FridgeFreezer Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Only thing I've found that will live with brake cleaner long-term is the Wurth pressure sprayers with the extra swanky seals, there was one guy selling them on eBay but he was dodgy as hell, every order would be "lost or damaged" and then take twice as long to arrive - suspect he was nicking them from his works to order or something! For WD40 I'd hope almost any of the industrial ones would be up to it. The Wurth ones are the most robust I've yet found though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Interesting feedback on ebay about that one! https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Marolex-Professional-Viton-Master-1500-1-5l-Pump-Action-Pressure-Spray-Bottle/1081188030?iid=391894583448#UserReviews (Frost selling on Ebay). There's a new version of it, which appears to only have 3 'feet', which I can only imagine will mean it is more likely to tip over, yet again: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Marolex-Master-1500-Professional-Pump-Pressure-Sprayer-New-Style/282015510936?epid=1366920531&hash=item41a96f3198:g:o1oAAOSw--xbIOb- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I've ordered a Wurth one for brake cleaner, I'll see how I get on. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
