Help: Open the TLF

[Coleus]

I tried to open my TLF and just can't. I closed it too tight last time so that the water does not leak out. Well now i can't open it. Any tips to open it easily?

Rubber band around the top works for me. Or a strap wrench.

I used a spoon handle between the 2 top outlets. Be carefull you dont crack an outlet, but it works

just run it under hot water for a minute to shrink the seal a little. It has worked for me when I cant get it open.

also remeber that when you squeeze on the top your pressing the threads into each other, thus working against yourself making it much harder to open.

This is what I did to, put's no pressure on the threads but be gentle big guy.:lol:

The hot water trick always works for me. Works for jars too :lol:

Might have to soak the entire lid part in hot water for a while, or run it under the hot water.

Strap wrench or plier-style oil filter wrench.
