Rodinal Bottle Trouble

[Gosu_John]

Hello all,

I'm having a little difficulty with opening my Rodinal bottle. Instructions on the cap show it to press down and turn but the arrow shows a mixed message not sure if its CC or C.

Tried both ways and it seems stuck. Anyone else uses Rodinal and can check out for me whether its CC or C to unscrew it?

CC. It's a child proof cap - they all turn the same way.

I must have turned it the other way too much, try as I might, the teeth keep slipping, press until hand pain liao. sianz

I press it down and turn anti clockwise..btw,the cap can be used to measure 10ml.

if it is a used bottle
maybe some stuff have crystalised and welded the cap to the bottle.
You can dip the cap in some warm water for a while
may help to ease opening it.

Though warm water / heat may not be good for the Rodinal
but at least an open bottle is better then cannot open : )

How about using some superglue to bond the outer and inner caps?

It is a new bottle from Cathy. I'll have a go dipping it in hot water tonight when I get back. So sian... all ready to develop liao then like that. Thx for the help guys!

A little update, I've managed to unscrew it with the help of my brother. Thanks all again for the help.
