A really weird idea for dispensing anti-seize.

So yes, anti-seize bottles generally come with a brush lid in the cap, and yes it works okay, but I'd been stretching a glove over the top of my bottles and using a hose clamp to hold them on so I could just use an acid brush instead of having to do all that work of unscrewing the lid.
I decided to get a bit more formal with things and create a lid that would allow me to hopefully reduce the rate at which it dries out while simultaneously making it easy to the the silvery paste on everything.
What you'll need:
- Permatex 8oz bottle of anti-seize.
- Rubber glove. I used nitrile, but I think latex may be better as it's stretchier.
- Something to cut up the glove.
- The 3D printed lid and the cap.
How to assemble:
- Cut up the glove so you get two usable sheets.
- Drape one sheet you cut from the glove glove over the opening to the bottle and push it down in a bit, we want some slack before tightening the lid.
- Cut a small, 5-10mm slit in the middle of the glove.
- Screw on the lid.
- Now do the similar operation as before, but with the smaller cap.
- Once that's screwed on you can insert an acid brush.
The point of this was simply to make accessing the anti-seize easier because I often find myself in scenarios where I have one hand free and didn't think to loosen the lid before hand.
One note of caution, this will cause the anti-seize to dry out faster, but that only means you won't be able to use the one bottle for generations.
Print instructions
I printed using PETG. The lid required supports, but they removed easy enough. The cap prints fine with the threads pointed upwards.
