A.K.A. BLO! Anyone got a trick for this? The cap (adult proof, Push Down & turn while ratchet is engaged) on a nearly full bottle of it has set & is glued to the glass threads. I can push it down, down but turning just clicks the ratchet.  |

Boil water and submerge the Stand Oil bottle in the boiling water for at least 45 seconds and then remove. The cap should twist off effortlessly afterwards...

I've had this problem before. I pushed down while at the same time applying a pair of channel lock pliers and squeezing gently to engage the cap and the safety.

Just do not use your teeth, it will leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Gee, thanks, Paddy!  I got it. Bore cleaner! yep it eats the finish off stocks so I figured it might eat it out out bottle threads too!  I put some mineral oil on the threads as well so hopefully it wont simply re stick! |

I put a piece of a plastic bag between the cap and the jug.

Get a new bottle.
Pill bottles work great. If you want I can send you some?
