right, late to the party as usual, thanks to Flannigan and 07 z-oh-6 for the reviews. now for some more info.... in no particular order or importance...
- there is an o-ring on the product 8)
- the one you pictured (and noted was un-opened) was opened before picture. i know this because the leaf seal tail will only leave here in the space left by the label around the product. however, as you say, in hot climates and left on the side it can seep out (even with the o-ring).
- the way i have been using the applicator is to dip it in (not really dig) and then very lightly rub over the rim of the jar leaving the excess in the jar.
- right, wax/liquid consistency. first, here in the cold of the UK we don't have the same leaking issues. (so move somewhere cooler - lol). BUT, in all seriousness, a lot of testing was done into the consistency of the product and we found that the oil to wax mix was the lowest we could get away with while still affording the product a decent shelf life. simply put, if we added less oils to make it more paste-like, it would need a sell by date. we are always trying to understand the properties of the products we make and the impressions of our customers; like Red Mist and Tropical, we had to come up with something to sort the flash time in hotter climates. i can't make any promises but if we find a better or more climate-durable way of making the product - we will 8)
