We had a lot of the laboratory glass 'pourers' that hold a measuring thingummy on top... you fill the flask w/ the eo, tip it BACKWARDS to fill the measurer, tip it frontwards to pour the measured amount into the bottle. trouble was, the measured amt was terribly inaccurate, so we ended up 'topping off' by hand anyway. most of the folks here pour from a glass beaker... some pour directly from a 4 oz bottle. we pipette the wee 2 ml bottles disposable pipettes. the FASTEST pourer I ever saw used a disposable pipette... set the tip inside the bottle, poured the eo from a 4 or 8 oz bottle onto the OUTSIDE of the pipette, it ran into the bottle and she never spilled a drop. (don't try this at home, kiddies!) also...re your bottles...if you are 'eyeballing' where the level is... measure VERY carefully with a graduated cylinder over and over again (can use water for this!)... so you KNOW where the 'mark' on the bottle is. then always ALWAYS pour above that level. (this is, assuming that you sell by volume, not by weight. If you sell your retail sizes by weight, you have to weigh each one...VERY time consuming if you aren't using some sort of manufacturers bottling equipment. Celebrating 10 years online.
