Welcome to the forum,put the gink bottle in an inside pocket of your jacket.Once warm it will run freely.In fact too freely.Apply sparingly.

Are you sure there's a hole in the top AL, it should still come out albeit in a solidified state, as Jim says warm it up, even put it in warm water for ten minutes.

Have you taken the clip cap guard off ?

Then check the cap top for a hole ( sometimes they forget to make one )

Contents always were too runny for my liking and will surely get runnier if warmed up sensibly .

If all this fails - complain in person to Gareth Headland at St George Sporting - he's the importer .

George Gherke was cheerfully full bored nuts , jumping crackers in fact - and the world is a sadder place since he passed away a couple of years ago !

Best wishes

I have got some out but I wonder if I melt it a zip loc bag in hot water and then get it to thicken but with the bottle upside down wouldn't it make it easierto get out.

I checked that the hole wasn't blocked but it was quitee small so I'm going to get a pin to open it up a bit.

Thanks for the replies
Al

Only product (fishing) I can remember that I had to put in a small zip lock to keep the bottle contents from making a hell of a mess.

Yes You can see it in side the bottle if you hold it up to the light.

What a palaver about getting a bit of floatant out of a bottle. Sure you can find your way to the shops ok.
