I used to use Flitz metal polish for polishing up fallboard brass at the end of my tunings. I recently switched to Wenol metal polish because it appears to be less abrasive and, for me, easier to use. Unfortunately, while the tube that Flitz came in was manageable, the tube that Wenol comes in is quite sensitive to the slight bumps it receives in my tool bag. (I think Flitz comes in a more plastic like tube while Wenol comes in a soft metal tube.) This causes it to squeeze out contents under pressure when I open the cap. I keep the tube wrapped in a soft polishing cloth and in a plastic bag in a separate bag within my daily tool bag, as protected as I can make it. Today's question: What would you recommend as a way to better protect this tube so that it doesn't get accidently squeezed in my bag? Putting it in a separate bag from my single small tool bag is not an option as I'm not going carry around a second bag just for this. I'm not opposed to, perhaps, squeezing some of the polish into a different container that won't be so susceptible to accidental squeezing, but what kind of container might this be?
Looking forward to your thoughts and recommendations.
