Nozzles

[bat71]

I have just started DIY mixing and have got to grips with everything but accurately measuring out the flavours.

All the flavours I have bought so far have a tiny nozzle which (I don't think) I can remove. I have tried to prise it off but they seem quite stuck on.

Is it possible to get these off so I can get a syringe in there?

As it stands I am pouring them into a 1ml syringe with my finger over the end but trying to get this into quite a narrow hole at the top of my 100ml bottle,s with gloves on is resulting in a bit of a mess!

Cheers

They can be quite tight, pliers often helps

Ah ok, so they do come off, will grab some pliers then!

If you have some ceramic tweezers, grip the nozzles with the part where the screws are - this will usually remove the nozzle without destroying it.

Yeah I use teeth too ... probably not a great idea but WTF.

But I've found of late that mixing by weight (using a 2 decimal place scale) is miles easier than faffing about with syringes and suchlike.
