Michael Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Do any of you guys buy the 5litre tubs of Quick Black? If yes, how the bloody hell do you get it out of the 5litre tub and into the inkpot without wasting half of it over the bloody floor Why dont they make these things with an intergrated pourer like the adhesive tins!!!!

slippy Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 DON'T GET A WOMEN TO DO IT. If it go's wrong it's your fault. It's always your fault. Plus a big mess and a new dress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxfer Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Even the 1 ltr tins of quick black are wider now with a chuffing great lip on them. My clever missus has had the tin decanted into a more suitable pouring container. Yes she got me to decant it, how clever is that? Fortunately, it's water soluble!!

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 The trick is to pour it out on the opposite side of the container hole. so that as you tip the container the hole is at the top not the bottom. Works just the same with 5 litre cans or containers of Adhesive. If you dont understand how to do it I will take pics using a milk carton as thats all I have.

kobblers Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 if i get you right then that's one hell of a good tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windycity Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 use a large breaster cone for your funnel. my pots are not the little glue ones but a old chipped cup never have a problem even with the 5litre container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 You dont need a funnel with the hole at the top. Pouring as normal with the hole at the bottom creates an airlock in the top corner of the container, this pushes the contents out faster as the air tries to escape.

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 OK I'll do a tutorial with a milk bottle later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 This is the only sample that I could lay my hands on, hope you can see what I'm trying to say. In this image you can see the pouring hole at the bottom and the black arrows where the air pocket at the top is and the force of the contents inside moving forward represented by the single long arrow. This would mean that the contents come out faster than you can sometimes cope with when the container is used for the first few times. Now notice the difference in this following picture. The pouring spout is at the top and the air pocket is also at the top, as the contents are below the pouring opening there will be no surge of contents on each pour. (the air pocket is not really in the indicated area but is in the top of the container). Hope this solves the problem of my previous post that could not be understood.

Michael Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks Hugh for your time and effort.I do now understand,dont they say "pictures speak louder than words", and I do remember this being demonstrated on Dragons Den by that giant bloke, Peter.

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 For the sake of sounding a thicky, what's "Dragons Den" and what era was it on, I presume it was on the TV!! By the way I've been using this method since they stated to put Adhesive in "Gallon" containers that were not centre filled, probably more than 45 years. I fathomed it out after getting a surge of Glue all over my Jeans because I was not wearing a long white coat at the time due to young females being in the vicinity. Taught me a lesson though. Took me ages to shrink another pair of Jeans in the bath while wearing them. Then I had to put zips in the sides of the leg bottoms so they would go over my shoes.

Michael Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Dragon Den is indeed a tv programme with a series finishing in last couple of months.Basically 5 multi-millionaire investors have inventors and entrepreneurs put business ideas to them looking for investment.Some bloke came up with this pouring invention and Peter showed the way to pour it as you described, p***ing on his invention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Oh yeh I remember the program but did not know what it was called as I only watched it once. I think it was in the early stages. Liked the idea but it got too drawn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
