ScottsGT Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I turn the bottle over and smartly smack the top firmly on my bench about 3-4 times. Usually breaks it loose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Gunze makes a tool specifically for removing stuck paint bottle lids. It works on Mr Color( both acrylic and lacquer), Tamiya and AK bottles. I have it and it has proven very handy. I'll grab a pic when I get home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maker666 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Cut the bottle, and move the paint to a new one. If you've had the problem once, it will happen again many times. When you change the paint bottle, if it is acrylic, add a few drops of paint revitalizer to recover the paint a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteinLincs Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Those pliers are commonly called plumbers pliers or Stilsons. Wind a rubber band around the bottle to aid your grip too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I have always known them as swan necks, mainly used for plumbing. Cheers Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
