    Hello Jessica, a.k.a. "Sticky". I prefer epoxy in the plastic squeeze
    bottles (about 4 oz. each?).  You can dispense even the tiniest
    amounts and I often put the bottles in my hot ultrasonic solution so
    that it flows like water and sets up quicker.  Not only do they not
    leak (as long as they are kept upright) but the caps don't get glued
    on to the tubes.  Try a store that has a crafts department, or a
    crafts specialty store.
