I have used Kwik fills for years and if you keep them clean they won't fail. Your just being cheap and not wanting to spend the extra money what $12.99. If this is going to break you maybe you should get into knitting. I can't believe that DuBro sell thousands of these a year and they are failing. They would quit making them in my opinion if that were the case. Use your old time fuel dots and leave technology to us that want improvement. I didn't cut down your fuel dot method until now because you came back saying my suggestion is crap. Well so be it.[:@]
