Have you tried drilling a hole down thru the cap and pouring paint thinner in?

No suggestions... but at least you know it works.
Hello everyone,
I just bought a bottle of LocTite and I cannot seem to get the top off.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David.

Try unscrewing the /other/ end.

I'd have to go look at my bottle, but are you sure the top is supposed to come off? I have a small pipe wrench that will take about anything off.
A couple of drops of UnTite should do.
Nope.
Did you forget the combination??

I was going to suggest he tturn the cap in the opposite direction. But upon careful consideraon of your suggeston, I believ your suggsestion is prorbably more useful then my own.

No, but at least you know the stuff works!
Seriously, is it a plastic bottle? Did you try holding it with 2 pairs of pliers or in a vise? Heat will often work when removing fasteners that have been loctited (that is a verb, isn't it?) but if it's a plastic bottle, that would be iffy. I guess in a worst case, you could cut or break the bottle and transfer the contents to another container.
I remember reading somewhere - that is one of the great mysteries of life...
If it's that good at what it does, why doesn't the top stick to superglue bottles/tubes?
:¬)
There's your first mistake! :)
Oddly, hot and cold often work in opposite directions.
RRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,,,,,went the reel. ;~)
