does anyone know where i can get a amp opener in a store or around town?
NO-
You Use a fingernail file to score it with and then with a ply of tissue wrappeda round the tips of your fingers,you give it a quick snap w/pressure form opposite side of the score.
[Independently owened] drug stores sometimes sell stuff like that,but why bother?

oops.sucks-be sure,obviously-to avoid the glass-if its a dark amp and you cant see it.Keep your needle tip as off the bottom as you can-put a flashlight behind it or something-dont inject a tiny shard of glass into your[wherever]That could turn to be a real nuisance.

what would happen to me if i did inject a few tiny pieces of glass?
probably not much of anything given it's tiny size.On the other hand it might be a constant irritation at the site.Point is DON'T.If you have an empty amp try pouring it into that one and losing the tiny amount at the bottom that will be holding the glass,if there's more than a speck trash it and pop open a new one.

it seems that the turkish sust break so much easier than the nile sust.
They vary.I have some Galenika TestE that has glass 1/16" thick with no dot.
Just gotta get a good score on them with that nail file and any glass will snap easily--key is-Do it quick-SNAP. Don't just keep applying more force until it gives...If it dont just snap off,you dont have the amp turned right in your hand.And use tissue around each finger/hand. Cut yourself once on one of those amps and you wont do it twice.
