Take the tip and just twist 1/2 way and pull up it is a locking tab to relock for each use. Hope this helps.

It looks a lot trickier than it actually is! Just turn the plastic tip about a quarter turn counterclockwise and then pull it straight outwards and off it gently comes. I remember the first time I tried it getting so frustrated that I finally grabbed some plyers but that was not a good idea as it will only break the tip and make the cap unusable - it is so easy if you just turn the tip back and just pull off. :)

Hello! There is a little tab at the top of the carpule of gel. Holding carpule in right hand, grasp the little tap and twist to the left, then lift off. Now, place the tip at the same angle on top of the carpule, twist into place and remove the little cap at the very tip. You are ready to go!

The color shouldn't wipe off at the end. Don't be afraid to wipe with pressure. It may take a few times to get the hang of it!

I looked it up on YouTube, Generously spread baby powder around the bead part of the rime then just follow the instructions that come with the machine. Any other thoughts, Questions I'd look up on YouTube, it was very helpful watching someone do it.

If you have the blue tip rotated to 'spray', it should work very well, and should be rotated back to 'close' when you are finished. If it still does not work, you can remove it from the bottle and dip the end in hot water, then pump fifteen or twenty times to clear it. Make sure to remove it from the hot water and continue to pump until the water is gone from the tube before you put it back on the bottle to use.

You really need to bleach first, and I highly recommend the Sparks lightener and creme developer to do it. I also recommend going with the Ion color stay formula for conditioning, and keeping from fading. Message if you have any more questions. I love this color, and it's totally worth the hassle.

I have not cleaned my colorscience brush yet, but when ready for a refill will most likely clean it as I do all my other brushes. Directions below:Fill two bowls with warm water.In one bowl, add a mild soap and hydrogen peroxide... just a little of each and stir up water.In that bowl, swirl around the brush portion of the powder stick. until water is murky with oils and dirt.Take the stick and swirl it around in second bowl of clean water, making sure everything is off. Take your fingers and run them down the brush carefully to remove excess water - lay on clean towel until dried.Hope this helps!

It was a gift for a friend's son and I told them to do what I do with my thermos. Go to the store and purchase some inexpensive denture cleaning tablets. Throw a couple in the bottle over night filled with water, then wash with warm water and soap the next day. You could also use a drop of bleach in water. I keep a baby bottle/glass brush on hand if I have something like juice which is sticky and I want to be a bit more thorough. If you feel there is an after taste issue, you can also soak over night once a week with a teaspoon of baking soda in it. Several options for you, I hope that help.

Every time you put the whitening trays in...I used once a week. You have to put the gel in the trays...put those in your mouth...and then put the light in your mouth over top of the trays...a bit awkward to do.

Ringading, I too, would like to know. I used my Tovolo Dripless Baster for the first time, tonight. Went to clean it, took of tip and I guess I broke it! The threaded part of tip was still inside the baster tube and the rest of the tip and tiny gasket were the only things that came 'off'. I was wondering if I could super glue the tip back to the rest of the piece. I do have the extra tip that came with it, but jeez if the tip is that delicate (I have weak hands), then I would like more than one extra tip.

It doesn't leak for me if I am careful to remove the little pull-off tab first. Then turn the cartridge over and twist off the cap over the ink. I suppose that, if you see excess ink when you twist off the cap, you might want to have a paper towel available to blot the excess ink (but this has not happened to me so long as I remove the little pull-off tab first). I confess that I, uh, didn't read the instructions the first time I put in one of these cartridges - I removed the twist off portion first - and it leaked.

Are you using just one color? In that case it might not be. I would look to purchase a larger tube of just the one color.

Hi Nibor,I do not remember that I had to do any thing to spray the liquid. If it is push and twist, then try pushing the trigger down and twsting it right or left. If not. Remove the trigger from the bottle. Get a pipe cleaner and clean out the tube under the trigger and try again. If that does not work. Send it back. I am sure that Amazon will honor a defective product. These things do happen. But trust me when I say the product works great. I tip also....always use a clean microfiber cloth. One you have used your cloth 2-3 times it must be clean or you will see scratches from the dirt on the cloth. Have a great day.

I have just started using clear care for scleral lenses and I am having this same problem. I end up with only about a quarter of an inch of solution at the end of the process. It seems to all bubble out of the little air vent on top of the case. My lenses are gas perm so they don't dry out but I worry that my lenses aren't being cleaned well. I asked my Dr and she hadn't heard of this problem. I do rub my lenses with a multi-purpose solution beforehand - I'll try rinsing the lenses well before using the clear care and see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestion and for asking the question! I have just started using clear care for scleral lenses and I am having this same problem.

I just squeeze the tube a bit and lick it off the top, then roll it around in my mouth with my tongue til it coats everywhere. Worked much betterwith the original formula as it was thicker. It's a clear gel. After getting it around in your mouth then the mouth is moist again. I often wake up in pain from the dryness and if I didn't have it I'd never get back to sleep. Thanks for asking. Someplace i found a gel with a mint flavor but I can't use mint so I don't remember what the name of it was.

You might insert a small drill or machine thread tap or an awl, which is tapered, into the nozzle and when it's tight, press the release button on the top front of the waterflosser and extract the broken tip. Also you might try bending a kink in the shank of a paper clip above ii's tip and inserting same into the tip vent hole until it is a snug fit and then press the release and lift out the broken tip.And as always........ have a nice day.The Grumpy Grouper

I simply applied the gel to my upper and lower bleaching try and installed. If you use the correct amount it will fill the gaps and work good. Do as the directions say and don't use to much as it will bleach out your gums if it oozes out to much.....

Hi dear, you should mix 2 of the tube cream (the light Brown) to 1 of the Oxidant (the white bottle). However if you put more Oxidant you will get more lighter colour but better stick to their ratio.
