shaking grain jars-a trivial but handy tip * 1
    #12097353 - 02/25/10 06:04 PM (13 years, 10 months ago)

RR has his bike tire, and I've used rolled-up magazines etc., but I tried something that works really well and is very handy. Just take a liter size soda bottle, fill it with water right to the top, put the top back on and pound away. Like I said, trivial, but it works great and you can really go to town on those dense clumps.

That is a simple and useful tip, never thought of that. :thumbup:


But the downside is you don't get to feel all manly with painful bruised palms.

Glad you all like :grin:
It really works better than anything I've tried. I put the bottle on my knee and pound away. It has just the right give and the energy transfers to the jar very well :cheers:

I'm always looking for new ways to break up stubborn jars. But placing the bottle on your knee? Be careful soldier!!!

I second this... I was using a duct tape roll and had a jar explode... I figured it was a fluke/weak jar so I did a second one... same thing... I ended up picking the biggest chunks up off the floor and spawned them to a monotub WBS, poo, shards of glass, blood and all... No contams though so i guess i was lucky.  Since then i've been reluctant to do anything other than beat the hell out of my hand.
