lol well someone said they did put the whole thing in there sealed it up and shook it around a few minutes so that's what i tried. i found my own method now, I'll just lightly put my finger tips in and rub it in with my fingers. in the sink. haha. i don't think using the end of a sock with the cs in it would do that much but get cs everywhere like i already did. i got mine in a bottle sorta like that but bigger. it's like quarter pound $1.99. lol it better last me a few months despite what i wasted.
