Anyone know how to break a child lock on a bottle?

[Janstar]

I'm in the middle of a DIY job and I need to paint the knots in the wood with stopping. However the lid is stuck (I presume stopping has got in the threads from last time). I've prised off the lid but there is another part underneath. Anyone got any magic solutions?

Stab it with something sharp so there is a hole in it? Works for jars etc

Try pliers or in my case a nutcracker to grab hold of it...

i dont think nutcracker would like to be used to open bottles

Give it to a small child?

Try soaking the top in white spirit to loosen the knotting in the threads?

Knotting, stopping, whatever...!

Go and buy a new bottle.

lol soupy

you can call it knotting or stopping.

Hooray - my huge, burly window-cleaner just arrived and got it open for me. Even he struggled though.

Thanks everyone.
