I think this one has been raised before but I can't find it anywhere.

In the shed I use squirt bottles for certain liquids like; water, meths, kero, turps, coolant/lube, degreaser, CLR etc. The bottles I use are either el-cheapos purchased at supermarkets or hardware stores or repurposed bottles that previously contained products like bathroom cleaner.

The two solvents I have problems with in these squirt bottles are kero and turps as any bottle I put them in stops squirting a few weeks to months afterwards. The best luck I've had with turps is with Windex window cleaner bottles which lasts about 6 months but kero seems to defeat any bottle within a few weeks or so of use.

Anyone have any ideas for squirt bottle for these solvents or any comments about squirt bottles in general ie what works and what doesn't?
