    i use a stapler to crush the top of the amp breaks it clean every time but make sure you only get the very top or the whole thing will burst.

    what I do is I gt a rag of towel and grab the top and just break it off. I saw a doctor do that before and it is like the rag gives leverage

    Score the glass on the dot side and the top break off clean without shattering. Some GH kits come with a small scoring stone for this purpose.

    Yes, this is the clean and easy way. Take a nail file or anything that will score glas and just score a mark at the thin part of the amp. It doesn't have to be big at all. Once you can see the score mare just snap it over with your fingers. Piece of cake!

    take a tool to cut around the top

    then take a rage and break be carefule so you don't have any glass peices in the acutual amp.

    I've always used a cotton swab with alcohol on it. They don't require much effort to snap off in a single piece. Just stay off the clen while you are doing it. Having the shakes would be a good routine for either drawing blood or dumping the contents of the amp onto the floor.

    wrap the tip in a paper towel, hold the amp in one hand, and with the thumb and index finger on your other hand, just kinda snap it off. works for me.

    i found it a little time consuming when i started out,untill i got an amp snapper in my needle exchange,there just the business,picture having 2 pencil sharpners facing each other,and u open both sides up so u can slip youre amp inside,face the dot of the amp upwards and close the sides back down and snap it open,simple 5 secs compared to the 5mins i was spending filing and snapping.if you have any trouble PM me and ill post one out to you bro,no proplems

    It would have to be some microscopic glass pieces I'd guess. Possible? Maybe! But not likely!
