[Jewelry making - Article 01185] - [Orchid] Gold testers gel tubes drive me nuts.

    I think I purchased the original electronic gold tester the day they
    hit the market. No more nitric acid, they were great. Many, many
    years have passed and I think I'm on my third tester. The weak link
    in all of these is the gel tube. I store them in the refrigerator,
    religiously clean the tester after each use and still, they clog up,
    leak and the plastic threads strip in the tubes. These are really a
    pain. I have spent far more on these troublesome tubes than I have
    spent on the testers themselves. 

    Can this magic goop be purchased in bulk and somehow do away with
    these nasty tubes. What is your solution? 

Thanks
