Last night, I tried one of the sirius mixes on all my friends at a
party. It's the longest I've ever done henna for, about 7 hours.
Oh, my Maude, I hurt sooooo bad! And it's even both my arms/hands
because I was using the left to help squeeze.

The pertinent facts: I was using a j-bottle, made by a fabric paint
manufacturer, that I got at Michael's, per someone's suggestion
here. It felt like it wasn't easy enough to squeeze, But I don't
know if there are any that are easier/softer. It had what looked
like a .7 or .9 mm tip, and it was the 1-oz size bottle. The bottle
was about 75% full when I started and almost empty when I was done.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there another kind/size of
bottle/tip I should use? I'm not yet ready for cones -- just can't
seem to get the same precision. Suggestions?
