    We all know Kunos is too expensive to waste so the best investment you could make is one of these bottles. Way too easy to use. I bought clear ones so I can see the oil to the last drop, the push/pull cap allows me to easily meter out just a few drops for finish coats, or a flood-fill for the first coat, and when you're finished, just squeeze until oil comes to the top, push the cap down and you're done. Zero air-gap = zero waste.

    Like the little bottle with the push-pull lid. Once I open a new tin of Kunos for a job, I quickly pour the unused portion into an empty wine bottle and put a vacuum stopper on it, and manually apply a vacuum. Seems to work well. As an extra measure, possibly not needed, I also wrap the bottle with wide duct tape so the contents are not affected by light
