Reddit reviews 7-pack Plastic Condiment Squeeze Bottles - 16 Ounce with Red Tip Cap - Made in USA - Perfect for Ketchup, BBQ, Sauces, Syrup, Condiments, Dressings, Arts and Crafts

1. Turn off the news. When looked at objectively things *aren't* bad. They aren't as good as you wish in whatever area, but I bet money, marbles or chalk that at least 1/3rd of the people strongly disagree with you and wish it was that far in the OTHER direction, so while it could be better, it would be worse for someone else.
   
2. Spend more time outside in green places. Go for a hike in a national forest/national park. It's good for your mental state. This is science.
   
3. Get a PROFESSIONAL massage. Both of you.
   
4. Start exercising regularly. Weights and "cardio". These are proven stress reducers. If the kids are a problem, find a gym that has child watch. Most of the 24 hour fitness (not to advocate them, but they aren't *horrible*) gyms around here have some sort of play area for kids. Put the kids somewhere (relatively) safe for an hour or 90 minutes and burn off your sweat. Some places have a hot tub.
   
5. Get a jar of coconut oil (supposedly unrefined is best, IDK why). Get a bottle of this https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Organic-Aloe-Health-Moisturizing/dp/B00XW8CSE8 and one of these https://www.amazon.com/7-pack-Plastic-Squeeze-Condiment-Bottles/dp/B01HAWNA5M from your local grocery store. Fill it about half way with the coconut oil. Then the other half with the aloe. Put it in a HOT cup of water to keep it liquid. Cover your bed with an old blanket (or a cheap one from target/walmart). Now use about 1/4 that bottle rubbing down your wife. Then tomorrow night she uses another 1/4 rubbing you down. That bottle of Aloe will get you two bottles of massage oil. Good for your skin AND your state of mind.

When you buy it it comes in a powder, so you'll need to make the glue yourself. There are multiple ways to do it, but here's what I do.

Take 4 tsp. of the MC Powder and pour it into your bottle. I use a 16 oz. condiment bottle. Then you fill up the bottle halfway with hot water, shake the stuff a little bit, and let it stand for ten minutes or so. After that you can fill the rest of the bottle with cold water, shake it again, and let it stand for 24 hours. I've found that, ideally the MC should be kept in an area between 70 and 75 degrees F, but as long as it isn't in extreme temperatures it should be fine. The warmer the room the less viscous the mixture is. After the 24 hours have elapsed you should be good to go. The consistency should be kind of like hair gel, but again the temperature affects the viscosity.

I use Methyl Cellulose for two things mainly.

1): I use this by itself for helping me remove old spine reinforcement (mull, extra reinforcing paper, etc.) so I can replace it. I basically take a tiny amount of MC and spread it over the materials I need to remove, wait about a minute so it isn't too wet to work with, and then gently scrape off the materials with a painter's knife (these aren't sharp and so I don't have much risk of cutting the sigs or thread). I do this a bunch of times until enough material is off.

2): I also use this in a 2-1 PVA to MC mix (so 2 parts PVA, 1 part MC) when I'm gluing over large surfaces and I need a bit more time to make sure everything's lined up properly. Usually I add some PVA separately just because the mix doesn't have enough tack for me.

Just get a bunch of clear squeezy condiment bottles like these ones

This works. For VG, I used an 8-oz barbeque sauce bottle for a while then bought 16-oz HDPE bottles. I can turn it upside down and squeeze the hell out of it with no leaks around the cap (unlike the seeping from my cheapie bottle). The bottle opening is a little small but I have no trouble with refilling it from a gallon jug.

For PG, I use a 250ml laboratory-type wash bottle. Works great, and no funnel required to refill this one either. No leakage around the cap because you don't need to invert it.

For nic (PG base), I use a setup like this 2-oz LDPE bottle with Luer Lock cap and 14-gage dispensing needle. One squeeze gives about 1 gram delivery and gravity-only flow is about 0.1g /second. Easy to use.

It's really simple if you (at first) just ignore flavoring reviews, creating, and all that and look at top rated recipes on alltheflavors. Pick something that looks reasonably close to your usual preferences and it'll probably be a good fit.

From there, in terms of the mechanics, you're just clicking the "Mix" button and dripping stuff into a bottle until a scale reads around the number on ur screen.

You need:

Bottles (I use dropperbottles.com and buy 100 at a time)

Whatever flavorings go in the recipes you chose (bullcity and ecigexpress are good sources. Diyvaporsupply too)

Nic (I use Vapers Tek, which is good quality EU nic and not expensive)

VG/PG (Can use Essential Depot on Amazon if u aren't ordering from somewhere that sells base)

A scale that measures to the hundredth of the gram (a lot of people use the American Weigh Scales LB-501)

And you're done :)

Probably be good to include 30ml bottles so you can split up the nic. A small funnel would help with that. Put the nic you're not using in the freezer. Disposable gloves can be a good idea.

Nothing else I can think of that really makes it easier. I guess [condiment bottles like these](7-pack Plastic Squeeze Condiment Bottles - 16 Ounce with Red Tip Cap - Made in USA - Perfect for Ketchup, BBQ, Sauces, Syrup, Condiments, Dressings, Arts and Crafts - BPA-Free https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HAWNA5M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_gWVEDb927PWQC) for dispensing the VG/PG if you start out with bulk. Have to cut the tip around the second line for VG to flow.

Ok, I don’t know where you live, but in the USA you can just buy condiments in squeeze bottles. Alternatively, you might try amazon for bottles you can use.
