Problems with opening Gunze Sangyo Aqueous bottles

Post by Radzy »

Hello fellow modellers,

I have problems with opening some unused GSI Mr Color Aqueous bottles. It seems like the some amounts of paint dried on "thread" and solid locked the bottles. It seems I cant open them without destroying either cap or bottle - nevertheless of what force I use (even with help of tools like small wrenches I can't get it open)...

Any tips how can I get them opened without damaging too much ? :)

Cheers,
Radek

Try the Canadian bottle opener:

Lego's might be a little bit easier to use to open a bottle. But let's see him use it to take down a tree or fight off a Grizzly bear.
