My bottle cap leaks. Without replacing the bottle cap, how can I re-seal it? There's no other damage to the cap, can I just apply some silicon seal?

I have found an excellent replacement for the original gasket- McMaster Carr part number 9396k217. They come 5 to a pack and cost $5.46 for the pack. It's a silicone o-ring that fits perfectly and seals better than the original gasket. order from: McMaster.com

I would contact Klean Kanteen. This sounds like a warranty issue. Flat cap should not be leaking.

We do not have the silicone gaskets to replace on the cap. Here is the information I found from Klean Kanteen: The silicone disk can loosen with time, which allows liquid to escape through the small vent hole. To remedy this, try pulling the disk off, cleaning it with warm, soapy water, then popping it back on to the adapter. You might also need to replace the silicone ring on the inside of your cap. Call customer service at (800) 767-3173 ext. 319 for information on how to get a new silicone gasket for your cap.

Vendor I bought from placed tape on the top cap to prevent spillage, so you just purchased from inexperienced or bad seller. Contact them to complain or ask for refund

Before you try to replace it, you may have the same problem I had. Mine was leaking excessively, but upon reading the included care instructions, I discovered that you can remedy the leakage by reaching one hand inside the container and one outside. Grab the spigot and twist to tighten. It will need to the tightened each time you use it, but if you give a good turn, it will last a while. Hope this helps!

I have 3 of these. I found that tightening the cap too much will distort the unit and cause a leak. I found it works best to lightly tighten the cap. Be sure to wipe the edge of the housing where the cap seals to remove any tablet particles.

HI Santoyo ! The person who responded first, already said basically what I was about to recommend ! Even suggesting the video ! No point in repeating !! The only thing I can imagine that might lead you to damage the bottle and not just the cork, as the cork issue happens to me, is that the cork is of a very hard type and is very stuck in there, as it HAS happened to me, but not to the point of damage !! ........... CHERERS my friend and mull this over a nice Cab !!

I had the same experience! The outside seal was unbroken, but the one under the cap was loose. Very disturbing.

I just turn it upside down. Use it that way. I also have 2 bottles. One I use as just a spray, no scrub. Then I remove the spray and put the cap which comes on it back on. Then I use the scrub bottle but upside down. It shouldn't leak.maybe your bottle is stripped.

that doesn't sound right. if the cap is properly replaced it should go good until the bottle is empty. I love this stuff--use it for mosaic work mostly but have never had that problem---and I use A LOT of glue.

Contact Dramm or go to Ace or hardware store. Otherwise, a simple water bottle cap might work.

I am not familar with EZ caps, but the gasket is not glued to the caps that come with the bottle. You should be able to replace the gasket.

Did you unscrew the cap and make sure the sealer is removed from the bottle and is there a hole on the tip of the nozzle?

All the previous answers are right on target...good answers! The Ball plastic storage lids do, in fact, leak. SOooo....this is what works for me: I simply put a new Ball seal lid inside the plastic cap and tighten with light to moderate pressure....Voila....no more leaks.

I wouldn't know how to fix it. I have two. The silicone washer under the cap fell off,reason unknown. I called Bodum and they sent a replacement right away. I would suggest you call their customer service and advise them the problem. I'm sure they will take care of the problem. Other than the minor problem, they work great.

Mine leaks as well - check the lid and see if the silicon ring is missing or damaged. I believe that's the cause for my leak. Still checking to see if I can replace that part...

You have to make sure that you tighten the cap after filling it up. I haven't had an issue with it leaking.

ive had mine for a few months now. i just used it again about a week ago and it worked just fine. bit i keep mine stored the same way the bottles came with that little plastic cap then the regular cap over and tighten it a bit. i think the key is making sure the cap is on tight so no air can ruin the liquid.

You can unscrew the spigot and put some olive oil on the seal an that might work, I have had mine for 3 years and the only problem I have had was my granddaughter broke my spigot off. I bought another one in fact 2 just in case. They are cheep and easy to replace. I would contact the company and let the know what is going on. But all in all the company should replace it at no cost to you or at least send you a new spigot. hope that helped some,
