Boots yes I have mate
Guy I think so too mate, just goes to show what can be achieved if you've got a few extra bucks, or a winning raffle ticket in this case. I think I'm going to be a bit fussier with what I buy from now on

I did on a couple of dropper bottles but found once you start getting below halfway the ball bearing would settle in the spout and stopped the paint coming out.....used to have to shake it to move it.

This is a museum piece Ian mate!!! I like photo fiddling, I hope you don't mind if I put this one in your thread. If so I remove it without hard feelings.
