just go to walmart or kmart, and buy a file. 3 rigid scores around the neck and it pops off with the slightest touch. Most of the amp openers are on back order that i've seen. TJ IP: Logged |

1.Take the ampule in one hand at the bottom, hold firmly. 2.Grab the top with the other. 3.Break the ampule where it is thinner at the middle. I'm not trying to flame you bro. I just have never heard anyone ever ask that question. Hopefully, this will work for you. [This message has been edited by Rotten (edited February 03, 2000).] IP: Logged |

Some amps don't break easily - they're solid. I just use a simple nail file. "Score" the neck of the amp - you'll feel when it's starting to score because the file will suddenly start grinding into the glass after working it for awhile. Gradually score about 1/3 or more of the neck and then simply snap the top off with your hands. IP: Logged |

Rohan - I didn't know that some amps are thick. Anyway, I was just kidding around. All the ones I've seen are easy to break. What AS are in the thicker amps? IP: Logged |

A guy on the UG posted a great way to open amps without risking fracturing the amp top and getting glass in your hands. Take a pen top and put it over the amp top with the bottom of the pentop touching the trough of the taper. Then go ahead and pop it off like you normally do. I used to use a towel but I still fractured the top most of the time so I now use this meathod with 100% success. Later, IP: Logged |

I am currently using Indian Sust and they are one stubborn MF to open, I've tried breaking by hand, pliers you name it it has always shattered the top. I heard about using a 3 edged file, so decided to give it a try. To my amazement after 3 scores of the neck of the amp the top fell off cleanly .It also caused some of the test which was trapped at the top to froth.
