squeeze bottle

Recommended Posts

Using a plastic bottle for head cement. When I pull the stopper needle out the stuff just free oozes even with tip up. What is the cause?

The pressure is greater in the bottle then the air. This usually happens when the bottle is heated up, either by holding it in your hands or heated by your bench lamp. Open the bottle, a quarter turn, to make it burp and that should fix it. I twist my cap a quarter turn before I start tying so that issue is taken care.

 

 

This is also my first post!
