Lewis I pour the bottle cap filled with liquid onto the bottle and it does spill over but I'm holding the bottle over the bucket of Xtol so it drips into there. I just do it in one motion putting the cap on the bottle but the caps filled with Xtol. Its an obvious thing to do i think I've been doing this since i was a kid with my gallon jugs of Dektol and fixer. I'm sure lots of people do it without thinking. You don't want a little air bell in there if at all possible. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
