I've been using a silicone glue recently, it comes in a single-
use squeezy tube with a handy retail hoop on the top. It's a
nice piece of packaging design <link>. I propose a multi
purpose version of this packaging. The end opposite the
nozzle should have super-robust ziploc seals, 2, maybe
3 of
them. You are then free to fill them with whatever you want:
home made paints/icing/toothpaste/pesto/minced garlic,
whatever. Fill, seal it up and squeeze away.

Funny how a careless read can spur the imagination. I did some zip-tie work yesterday and... |
|
| |
I expected this to be a squeeze tube with a zip-tie style ratcheting mechanism that keeps it rolled up as you expel the product. |
|
| |
Ziplock (to reduce leaks) behind a steel clamp (to handle pressure and prevent the kinds of twists that would open a ziclock)? |
|
| |
Combine this with an affordable way to automatically maintain costant pressure at the spout end during use, and I'd chuck one in my trolley "just in case" (since I don't presently have the excuse of something needing silicone.) |
|
| |
We use a lot of the ziploc-style bags at work. I took a
small triple seal one, filled it with water and tried to
pop the seal. It's really difficult with the good quality
hefty ones. For travelling I have very large ziploc-
style bags. These have a one way valve to let air out.
You fill them with clothes and then kneel on them to
squish it all down in size. They don't pop open even
under this stress. |
|
| |
OK, I just thought that the idea behind having several was to secure against popping (and in such a case, I think if one fails, so will three - since the same pressures act on the next one in the sequence once the first has burst)... But we all know what Thought did, don't we? (If anyone doesn't, just ask.) |
|
| |
Interesting to hear how tough they are. This property might generate a whole series of ideas. |
|
| |
The bags I have are very similar to these <link>. I've
never had them pop even while kneeling on it.
Totally recommend these btw. Take two, one for
clean one for dirty clothes, then you can squish
them even if you have a multi-leg trip. |

//The ziplock is meant to maintain suck not blow// |
|
| |
the one-way valve needs loads of pressure to open.
You can kneel on the bag and it slowly deflates. They
take a lot of pressure. |
|
| |
It would be nice if the ziploc end were really wide to accommodate filling of fluffy delicates, such as whipped cream icing. |
|
| |
May I please find out what Thought did? |
|

Thought defeated Imagined at the battle of
Procrastination. |

These sounds like icing bags. |

[normzone] - Thought thought he farted, but actually he shat in his pants. |

I seem to recall having some refillable squeezy tubes back in the
early 1980s. The open end had some sort of fold-over-and-clamp
arrangement. They were supposed to let you carry peanut butter on
camping trips, but were a pain to fill, carry and use. The plastic was
poor, too. |
|
| |
I have used big ziploc bags to mix some sort of catalyzed caulk, then
nipped off a corner and used it like an icing bag. That worked well. |

bungston, my thoughts exactly. |
