BUT this gives me an advantage. how do i open the bottle without spilling any

of it?!

<hr /></blockquote><font class=\"post\"> Shake the bottle 16 times and then spin it around with the

cork off. That should work.

I doubt it!

I don\'t understand why this product would be easy to spill, honestly. The time it happened to me I

attempted to lift the bottle by the cork. How is happening to you?

[bjf]

You have to shove in the cork to make sure it doesn\'t spill. Then you have to get it out and it doesn\'t slide

out easily, so a bottle filled to the top can easily exude product if the bottle isn\'t level when you pry off the

cork

It would be a good idea to go back and read DST\'s instructions about the cork. You probably

need to replace it.

What? I used it

only three times and now need a new cork?? I don\'t think there is honestly anything wrong with it yet though,

because it isn\'t slipping out like some people\'s corks...

Mine doesn\'t leak and I do not have to shove it in. It removes easily. As far as I have heard, few

if any people are having the problem you describe. Corks are natural products and have wide variations.

Did you

read the doc\'s advice about them?

[bjf]

Yea I did. I have had on and off problems with it leaking on the side, I guess based on how swollen the cork is,

but since I don\'t want to waste any product, I\'ll keep it upright.

Part of the reason I sometimes have

trouble taking to cork out is because I left on the wax on the top because I like how it looks and smells.

[belgareth]

Then the cork is going to dry out and leak more. Eventually, you\'ll have evaporation issues too. You

can put it in a different container with a snug lid, buy a new cork or even a rubber stopper.

[Sacogoo]

Yeah, I sometimes experience a little leakage when mine gets swollen too.

One caveat: It is best to be gentle and never push the cork in too far, as this wears it

out. That is the key. If you don\'t, eventually you will have to keep grabbing it with your fingernails to get it

out and the cork will break, if you push it way far in too often. If the cork sees ready to break, it is time to get

a new one, to avoid having to cut the cork to get it out of the bottle. It is not \"how far you push it in\" that

keeps the cork in place.

A gentle rocking back and forth removes the cork. You don\'t need 2 hands if you

practice: Use your thumb and forefinger while grasping the bottle with your other 3 fingers. If you wipe cork and

inner neck with a clean tissue, you can put the cork back in just enough, then store on side until it swells up

better.

If all this fails, and you read and tried the \"care of cork\" instructions, etc., then you have

to buy a few extra #3 corks, which are very cheap, and that will be the end of the problem. The bottle is reusable,

so you\'d want to do that eventually anyway.

I hope this helps. I always found the corks to be kind of

fun. People would sometimes strike up convos with me when I had the bottle out, perhaps imagining me to be a pirate

or someone who owned a genie. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Bel -- good post.
