Pimp my ride!After reading on several Boards that the Clubman range of aftershaves benefit from storage in glass, I took the plunge.
I am delighted with the results.
If you have no Myrsol bottles, does anyone have any idea where you can source similar sized bottles with that 'flow restrictor' thing fitted?
G'day @AussieTanker - apologies for tardy reply, and thank you for your kind words.What are the containers that you used @TomG ?
Got it. From your other thread they are / were Myrsol bottles. They look great. I have been thinking of using a 100ml glass whisky bottle for mine.
I would really like to know how you managed to get the contents into the bottle (as I presume that the original container had one of those flow restriction things blocking access) Funnel? pipette?
Also interested to know how you managed to do the artwork
It looks really nice. Great setup.
Spot-on, Bernie. Sometimes you can be lucky and the label is cooperative, but the hot water soak (with a dash of dishwashing liquid) is almost always needed. The orange oil works remarkably well; I use a small@TomG : you can buy removal tools for the orifice reducers, eg: https://youroiltoolsaustralia.com/products/got-oils-orifice-remover
@AussieTanker : The maple syrup bottle I had hoped to use has an internal neck ID of 18.5mm, whereas most I have Googled up are 12mm or smaller. I would be interested to know if you get an 18mm reducer in the mixed bag you ordered.
A tip I read re removing labels was to fill the bottle with boiling water, let it sit for a short time, then pick it up with a cloth and carefully peel off the label. Worked pretty well for me., then tidied up with orange oil as Tom suggests.
