When tipped or turned over, they leak

all of em

It leaks not from sprayer, but around threads, so I guess it doesn`t seal well.

Well that stinks. Wonder if you could wraps PTFE tape around the treads to make a nice tight seal? If it works with plumbing it could work for that too.

1/2 in. x 260 in. PTFE Tape-0178502 - The Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-1-2-in-x-260-in-PTFE-Tape-0178502/202280370)

Thank you for idea

Is it the threads or the joint right above the thread cap?

Those Tolco sprayers leak. There`s no seal where the threads meet the bottle. I suspect that is so the sprayer can spray more product without creating a suction effect on the bottle.

I think it`s leaking out the vent hole. A these sprayers are vented so that the bottle does not Cavatate when the product and air are evacuated. You can try the tape but I`m not sure it will help if it is in fact leaking out the vent hole.

I`ll find out later today

I bought a few of these Tolco 300 Upside Down sprayers and I love them. They have a seal so they don`t leak and as the name implies, they spray upside down. The bottle does collapse due to suction effect so you have to release the pressure once in a while.
