Greetings all. I was hoping to get some feedback on a project I am thinking of starting.

There was a thread a short time ago about homemade patches. Some posters described how they make their patches in strips.

The impression I got was that these were fairly long strips, that were rolled up. When needed, a short amount was unrolled and then cut with a knife.

I am interested in doing something like this but it seems like the lube would create an awful mess.

So I came up with an idea and was hoping for some feedback on it.

I do a bit of leatherwork in my spare time.

I had an idea for a leather container of sorts that the rolled strip would go in to. A slit would be cut in the side so that the material could be pulled out as needed. But your hands/shooting bag, etc., would be protected from getting lube all over them.

Imagine a 35mm film canister with the film tab sticking out-it would look something like that.

Theopening of the container would be covered with a cap that was held in place with a small leather strap and a snap.

Anyway I was wondering what people thought of this. Not to be a spammer, but does it sound like something you would consider adding to your shooting gear if something like this were to show up on <cough>ebay<cough>

Comments appreciated,
