Can anyone point me in the direction of a bag or holder for sealant tubes? I currently use a bag but it's not very successful as they fall about and the nozzles get bent. Something that I just grab and stick in the back of the car.
I've seen many online but they all seem to be a fixed type, for fixing to the side of a van or garage etc.
I've come across something from B&Q but tbh, spat my coffee out when I saw the price! Still don't know how I'd carry it even :(

Surely those hangers from B&Q are designed to be fixed to the wall, be that in the van or workshop, hence the screw holes.

Yeah, you're right. It was just something that I came across and couldn't believe the price! I guess that they don't sell many and add a mark-up. Saw the same thing on AliExpress for £15.00

That wont be from B&Q it will be from AliExpress except someone has imported some and sells them via B&Q, typically anything you see that's 'online only' from B&Q is generally pretty rubbish and expensive and the sellers are not B&Q and are often pretty rubbish with regards to communications.
 
Buy a length of 40mm or 50mm solvent weld pipe and some end caps. (can't remember the diameter of a cartridge offhand)

Cut the pipe into say 6 inch lengths, solvent weld an end cap onto each end. Then solvent weld each capped length vertically to each other as crudely shown below,

0000
0000

Then get a suitable strap/rope for a handle and secure it at each end with a screw or nut/bolt.

If you don't trust the solvent weld to hold them all together fit a strap around the outside of the all.

The B&Q marketplace is complete ****e and ruining whatever reputation they ever had.
 
Milk crate or one of those old style milk bottle holders.
