Why do these leak slimy gel liquid and how do I stop them from leaking?

The original set I bought never leaked once the last set has done the same as yours. Must have cheapened the covering. I put mine in a large zip lock plastic bag for now. And won't continue to recommend this brand. Bummer.

These come paper thin and you "activate" them by squeezing under water for quite some time. So there must be tiny holes or something that take in the water and when they are full blown they will be slimy until you use them for a while. Put them in some 2 gallon ziplocks or cut them for smaller sizes.

When you initially activate them in water don't let them get too full of water, you should be able to put a dimple in each square and have it remain there this will allow for the gel to expand when freezing and not compromize the covering. Once one of the squares is leaking all you can do is cut it off the rest of the squares. If you use it in a cooler with regular ice also the squares may be absorbing more water as the regular ice melts and when you refreeze the Techni Ice the packaging has no room to expand and it splits.

If it leaks, you have over filled it. Read the directions. Also, taking the rubber seal out, rinsing it, and fitting it back in will help as well. There is a max fill line. No liquids over the line. Its a great machine. I flipping love mine.

Vitamix is leaking metallic fluid as well. Do you think it is seaping trace amounts into container? I got to contact the company rep...

I think the liquid woul probably leak out. It's not what they are made for. I could see maybe ice cream pops.

They screw off. Someone in the reviews said they leak. I have not had that problem.Some weeks later -- yes, I am finding they do leak a bit. I wrap the jars in a paper towel when I take them with me now.Another update: they don't leak if you make a thicker yogurt, using powdered milk along with the regular milk! If your yogurt is thinner and has that layer of whey on top, then they do leak.

ours does not leak and the flexablity and extra length are nice...perhaps you received a faulty one

I'm pretty sure you need to provide suction. They should not leak from the spout when tipped.

I've had good luck so far and not noticed any leaks from the threads. I put soy sauce, peanut oil and olive oil into them. As mentioned by others these did not come with caps.

seems to me if you cut them in anyway, the gel will leek out. maybe call company and get a better answer.

Hi There,I can't answer that as I use them for my daily pills so I have not used them for liquid. I will say they tighten up pretty tight. I just put water in one and it did not leak. Good Luck

I have not had any problems with leaks but you might want to check the nozzles for plastic mold line flash and trim with hobby knife and make sure there is no debris in the bag opening. Also maybe try some silicon safe lube.

Sorry, can't help you there. I've never had a leaking problem with my MaxExtract. Maybe the seals have dirt around them not allowing the device to seat smoothly into the track? Are the seals dried out? If so; try a thin layer of any brand extra virgin olive oil on them. Be sure to let it set a while before gently rubbing it off, though. If the seals are too bad, then look in your manual and see about replacing them.

No. You haven't done anything wrong. These devices are prone to leaking water. They are very cheaply made. You can either keep returning them hoping to land one that doesn't leak or you can simply place a kitchen towel underneath it. Hope that helps.

They only leak if you leak forward. Same with the parts your freestyle came with. Hope this helps.

What do you mean? You just fill them up, put the cap on tightly, and lay them down in the freezer. No spilling. No leaking. Awesome!

If they aren't hot enough they can leak. May be trying to iron too soon or something may be malfunctioning.

Just add more water to the fill line. The gel inside lasts a really long time.
