Default Had to bleed through and top up again

Well, after just under 4000 miles since I bled the clutch and topped up the master I started to get the odd juddery pulling away when lifting off the clutch.
Spent the first part of the day bleeding through and topping up the master and then wasted around four hours trying to find a way of modding the lid so the master can be filled nearly to the brim...
Have admitted defeat and replaced the black condom ( had to do this twice as did not have it sealing the cap first time ) but know that the master was only holding a little over half of its already limited capacity when I tightened the lid.

I had hoped to use the easibleed lid and a length of tube sticking straight up to allow fluid to expand into before returning to the cylinder when clutch lifted but found it just worked its way out after four or five pedal pushes. Maybe a larger diameter tube?
