My difficulties mixing!

[shez]

Hello all reading

I find it difficult to remove the pouring caps, resort to pulling em off with a knife. So don't use once I finally get em off.  The new CV concentrates have a new lid which you have to press down and turn, couldn't open some.

I find it annoying when labels leave sticky marks on bottles, knock over bottles doing my mix. Guess I'm just a bit clumsy!

On a positive note mixed Lemon meringue which smells lush, OMG, my ADV Happy Hour and Lemonade which needs sweetening but can't get bottle open - all CV.

Great tip to stop your bottles going over is put a blob of blutack on the bottom of bottle and squish down before you start to mix.
A lot of the dropper tops can be a total pita to get out, I use pliers to pull em out.
I do replace imidiatly as often some of the childproof lids do not seal properly if dropper is not in place.

CV's bottles are terrible. Difficult to open and hard as hell to squeeze if you just need a few drops of something. I have one bottle that every time I take the cap off takes the dripper with it and is a bugger to get out of the cap.

Re the new CV bottles - I agree completely!!! I got some delivered this week and was having a hell of a job with them. One of them - when it finally came off - had the dropper bit come off with it and is now totally stuck in the lid...no way on earth it'll budge

Get some 'sticky stuff remover' the next time a Betterware catalogue comes through your door - that stuff is brilliant at removing labels!!

About the sticky marks from labels, I got an ultrasonic from Amazon, and washing bottles in there loosens the labels. After a UC wash, you'll find you can just scratch and 'roll' off any remaining pieces of label more easily. link Otherwise, I've heard nail varnish remover can remove those sticky bits.

Use orange peel to remove sticky residue

oops, forgot to remove that, lol. Had been going to recommend some bottles, then reread your post and saw you weren't questioning about general mixing bottles but about concentrates.

I always mix in mixing cylinders and then fill it into bottles - so no probs there

Clivia what's a mixing cylinder?

[aliscampbell]

[Clivia]

exactly aliscampbell - thanks - I have one for 100ml and one for 10ml - bought on ebay pretty cheap

Last mix was 500ml of PG, 500ml of PG/nic, 1 litre of VG plus the required quantity of flavour poured into a 4 pint milk bottle. Simple and no fiddly bottles.

Small funnel to decant into some half litre bottles for the freezer and 50ml bottles for the next six months.

No more messing for a year or two.
