    Ok,I've given the leaky jars more thought,today I bought a sheet/ roll of cork,I'm going to discard the old styrofoam gasket,and replace it with a cork gasket.The cork is a bit thicker than the styrofoam,but flexible enough that I believe it will do the job.

    Ok,after a few days of testing different ways to get the gulp jars not to leak,the final test ( cork gasket ) was an utter failure.I will try automotive sheet gasket next,but that's gonna end the test one way or the other.
    I have found a wide mouth bottle plastic bottle that so far has sealed without leaking water for several hrs.The bottle is a clear plastic Tylenol bottle,it will hold 4 jars of gulp liquid and bait.Instead of carrying 4 jars of gulp,I'm combining the different gulp minnow's,and leeches into one jar,plus it takes up less room than toting several jars.

    Your putting way to much time into this. Do a search on EBay for specimem containers. You can get 4oz jars for less than $5 and this includes free shipping. I use these and they work just fine. No leaking at all.

    While I appreciate your concern for my time,this is just part of how I function .I could allow eBay to solve a lot of my brain teasers,but then again,that would be way to simple.I solved the problem,using a container that was previously used for something else,thus putting me money ahead,sorry E Bay.
    The cork gasket ( failure ) cost $ 1.50 for a 24"x18" sheet,will be used for multiple projects here on the poor farm,again,I'm still money ahead.My goal above all was to cheaply fix the gulp jar leaking problem and maybe just maybe help someone else ...........but as you can see,I failed in that endeavor.

    You mentioned putting a man on the Moon !!!! all the Early Rockets failed. They finally got some to fly,, then how to guide them ... then not to burn up when coming back down.. Those leaks led to discovering --- Good for You !!!!!
