    Default Travel tube

    I used an old spice container as a travel tube and it worked just great

    According to my son, his friend (sure, ive heard that before) buys his pot (being Colorado) at the store and it comes in these pill looking bottles but green and longer. My tallest brush has no problem fitting in the bottle with extra room. I just put a paper towel in the bottm amd drilled a hole in the cap for drying. It works great for travelling. If it was a touch longer i could put a straight razor in one but they are just too short for that.

    I agree with Jerry.
    The right size pill bottle works great.
    Usually the pharmacy will have no problem giving one up.
    Drill a couple of small holes in the top and bottom to circulate air and your good to go.
    Been using one of these for years.

    There's all kinds of things you can come up with for this. With a bit more work you can get some aluminum tubing and cap an end with rubber and have a very nice brush holder for travel.

    You can use the roll left over from your toilet paper also, just tape the end shut, Doesn't cost nothing but the tape. Tc

    Just make sure the brush is totally dry though. If you coat the roll with plastic spray or shellac then you got something.

    The roll helps draw the moisture out of the brush then the next night you steal the roll from the room!!

    But in all seriousness I use a prescription bottle with holes drilled in it. I have a chubby 2 synthetic I use for travel. I just went down to the Walgreens with the brush and asked them to fit it in the right size bottle. They gave it to me free. Tc
