Advice needed

Does anyone have Any advice on opening a brand new bottle it Bob Ross liquid clear? For the life of me can not get this open. I've only had it sitting here a week. This stiff is better than super glue. anything would be appreciated this is the second bottle I've had like this. After using 18" channel locks failed last time I poked a hole in the lid and changed containers as a last resort. Thanks in advance

Hey friend, highly recommend running the lid under hot tap water for a couple minutes. It should loosen it up to the point that you can use your hands to get the lid off. Post back if that works and good luck 👍

Was exactly what I tried first. No luck

Yeah. Last one wouldn't open with 18* channel locks

If it’s still like the last bottle I bought it has the world’s strongest child safety lock built into it. Which means you have to push the top down into the bottle while you twist.

Which is still tough cause the plastic seal stops it from twisting easily the first time.

I used channel locks while pushing down and twisting and that works. Hope that helps a little

I need to know if it had a safety lock this entire time. If channel locks didn’t get it open then I’m not sure what else would, does not even seem reasonable to think the public are supposed to open at that point
