[classic33]

Mike........if & when I get out of surgery I will respond in detail

Which one did you try?

It's an insert not a stopper, surely?

It's stopping him refilling the bottle.

Cut the bottom off the bottle with a glass cutter, poke out the stopper with a stick.

Tsk, education standards in Cheshire are slipping.

284mm is 0.284m or 11.18". 284ml is 0.284L or 0.49977 pints. Which are we dealing with?

And then ?
I see a slight problem there.

As you meantion Cheshire I assume you mean me as Cheshire would not have accepted @classic33 .
I did catagorically state that it was the contents.
Anyway I wasnt educated in Cheshire. I was dragged up on Merseyside (thats Mirsyside to yous lot) and emigrated to Cheshire when I married Mrs D.

Seven pages of twaddle.
Great twaddle, fair enough, but still twaddle.
I've just tried attaching my workshop compressor to the bung of a vinegar bottle, and succeeded in blowing the bottle twenty feet into the yard. i used a screw and some epoxy i already had mixed for another job. i might give up cycling and take up this new hobby.

Which one did you try?

Well I started with the deep sea diving one but as I only had a bath that didnt work.
Tried the treacle tin. I could only find an old paint tin with a battered lid.
I then tried the microwave idea..... they say I should be out of surgery by tomorrow.

And you say the 7 pages were twaddle . You need to get real. Anyone on here can carry a bottle of Sarsons vinegar up Everest or 50 mtrs under water. How many people have access to a compressor I ask. Harumph I say.

Wouldn't it be easier just to spray the WD40 directly onto the chips?

Spray some WD40 into the bottle. Ignite it. Promptly place something in or over the hole to prevent the ingress of air, and wait for the bung to be drawn into the bottle. Tip out excess WD40, rinse, and fill with vinegar.
