STICKY SITUATION
When I first received the item I was pretty excited. Tried opening it out of the outer plastic bag, but it was sticky. I thought it might have been a leak, and sure enough the product had sticky goo all over the cardboard packaging. It was pretty bad even for a leak, so I examined it over the sink, but then realized the ENTIRE top half of the spirit gum adhesive bottle had broken off and half the glue was filling the clear plastic cover attached to the cardboard.<br /><br />At this point I was worried about glass cuts but I tried to salvage what remained of the glue. Using a scissor, I tried extracting the glue remover so at least I can use it to clean up all the stickiness resulting from the sticky situation. When I cut the packaging open, all the glue started dripping out into the sink.  Long story short, the glue got everywhere and it was a mess cleaning up because THE REMOVER DIDN'T WORK EITHER!  As there was a lot of glue, I also applied the remover liberally, including pouring out enough to cover my hand and soaking a cloth to scrape with.  I had to later resort to using citric acid using lemons and that seemed to work better but still tough to remove.<br /><br />I considered buying a new one but at that point I really didn't think it was worth it given my experience. All in all it took maybe 2 hours to clean up, and to begin with I have an extreme dislike for sticky substances on my hands.
