Problem with opening fraystop

[Petal]

Is it me! Have I gone barking mad here.... I bought some fraystop a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd have a go at using it today... now I have tried twisting, pushing and generally being very polite with my bottle of fraystop, but before I get the hammer out and bash it to oblivion, have I missed something very very obvious??? (I have twisted the top part, so there is a gap between the top part and the next section, but that's as far as I have got). I've even given it to my OH to open and he can't do it either.... This could be very embarrassing, couldn't it!

Come on then guys, how the hell do I open this xx!! thing?

BTW, there was a little bit sticking out at the top and I chopped that off, as I assumed that was where the glue came out, but no glue so far.....

I use fraycheck, and you just cut the top of the nozzle until there's a hole. There's a little rubber top that then goes back on top and closes it.

Thanks for replying George.

There's two parts to this nozzle; the top part unscrews up to a certain point and goes no further. The bottom part stays as it is... with the words Easy Open Seal! I've been cutting the top off the nozzle, while its screwed down rather than up (open) and .... there's not much of it left, so I'll carry on cutting until a hole appears!?

(I can't believe I have actually asked this question on the forum) - I think this does go into the section of 'stupid' questions to ask, does'nt it

I'm off out for a bit to hopefully sell some of my stuff, back later .....

I'm struggling to work out what sort of lid it has....I have never used this fray stop stuff... Does it look anything like this?? (Excuse drawing!!)



If so then as soon as the lid is twisted into the Open position then the channel is clear for the contents to come out as the sealing plug has dropped out of the way...just turn it upside down and squeeze. The lid of this one is never designed to come off...it is just the little plug in the hole that receeds out the way as you twist. Sorry if I am telling you what you already know and this sketch bears no resemblance to your glue pot!! But it was the best guess I could make from your description!!

Mock if you will!! I'm signing off for tonight now....just make sure that when the entire forum finishes mocking my beautiful little drawings someone directs Jules back to the suggestion I have made to help her open her bottle!!
Nite nite folks...see you in the morning!
