Some of us make our own lanolin case lube. Measuring the stuff can be messy and here's a trick I adapted from the doctor's office.
I only mix a small amount of lube at a time so that if a spill happens, cleanup will be easier. My mix is 6ml per 100ml of isopropanol and that's all I keep on hand. So I need to accurately measure only 6ml of this thick gooey stuff. I think the picture says it all. Simply invert and withdraw the amount you need, turn back upright to remove the syringe from the cap and dispense. Replace the syringe in the cap and leave at mid travel for storage as you see it in the picture.
