My 'vintage' ink bottle turned out to be a total disaster

I found this cool old bottle at a flea market in Austin, cleaned it out, and filled it with a custom purple mix I call 'Grape Nebula'. The cap looked fine, but it must have been cracked because the whole thing leaked in my bag on the flight home. My favorite notebook is now a tie-dyed mess. Has anyone else had a container fail on them mid-travel?

Wait, did you fly with a bottle full of ink in your carry-on? I thought you had to put any liquids over a certain amount in checked bags. I lost a nice bottle of cologne that way once, the pressure change can make even a good seal fail.

Oh man, that's rough! I guess my ink bottle got lucky, or maybe TSA just didn't care that day lol. Sorry about your cologne, that's a brutal way to learn the lesson.
