Works well.The pressure from the gasket is enough to flip a 946ml can,so I've build up something easy and cheap to hold it so you can work free hand:A scrap piece of plywood,plumbing pipe strap,plumbing pipe collar.  -  -  -

First you dip the tip of the shaft and pass it through the gasket.It leaves an extra thin layer.Fast dry,easy set up,clean and simple,love it!

So enough sealant gets put on the end that's dipped for the gasket to spread it thinly along the whole length of the shaft?

the real beauty of the eco-dipper is doing opaque cap colors without the need for dip tubes.

It seems a very flexible tool, though if you wanted to let a coat soak in, it probably wouldn't be ideal except for removal of the excess.

Like you've noticed the first 6 will be natural but I intend to cap the end of the other 6 like Rob mentioned.

So far this was my 3rd layer,I lightly sand them with a 250 sand paper between each coat,I'll check them tonite.
