Rubberband the bottles together (a take on suggestions for filling lip balm

tubes), set 'em in a bowl or pan, and pour through a funnel.

there are 2

1. Purchase the cake frosting Paper or plastic " cones " that are use to

decorate birthday cakes....at your local Art's and crafts store ('s is

country-wide isn't it?)

OR

2. Syringe. A big GIANT syringe. I've heard you can get them from a vet, I

have the one that makes cookies....(also the cake decorating aisle)

I pipe my lotion into malibu tubes, too. The easiest way for me to get

this done (in a timely manner, with no spills) is to use disposable

drink cups.

In a nutshell...

If your baggie holds 8 malibu tubes worth of lotion, set out 8

disposable cups. Place an empty topless tube, open end up, into each

cup. Place one on your scale (if using a scale to be sure each tube

meets it's weight) and set your tare. Snip the corner from your lotion

bag and fill tubes, weighing as you go. Cap your tubes.

I label a zipper bag with the fragrance used, then set the bag aside

so tubes can be labeled when time permits.

HTH!

Ok...this may be my next try...

I am doing 3 gallons at a time and it really does make a mess by the

time I'm done. If I just had 8 bottles to fill, this wouldn't even be

a question...but a giant syringe might work...

I'm gonna look for something tomorrow...

thanks

Hi ,

It's great to *see* you here! I didn't know you were selling Lotion

Base .. Congrats to you! :-)

When I sell my lotion base in the gallon we also include a full

instruction sheet as to how to use the lotion and labeling requirements,

etc.

PS) I'm still waiting on that list of supplies. E-me privately when

you can, okay?

I'll bet if lotion is thinner than mine, the jugs would work great. But

I still don't understand how customers (who purchase their base in

gallon jugs) fragrance and scent their lotion 'in' the gallon jug. How

do you get it all incorporated? Maybe I'm having such a hard time

envisioning it because I'm used to lotion (mine, anyway) being so thick?

Hmmm.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
