Please tell me you're an engineer, this is so clever that the world needs your inventiveness!

beautiful!! Thank you for that!! In my country people use locally found a mineral stone. You deep it in the water and pass it under arm pits. Not comfortable, as it may have sharp angles. But to dissolve it in water and refill the roll on container is what i did now thanks to you ;)

This was such a smart idea! Thank you so much, I was just looking for a way to do this :)))

Worked like a charm!
Be sure to dry the ball first…And use a strong, packing type tape.
Also helps to twist the tape (for tensile strength once you get it around the ball.

A couple of people used the packing tape method in my search and one man was very detailed showing how he applied it yet it did not work because the tape would not stick to the ball even after cleaning the ball with a lens wipe. I tried construction double faced tape and it slid off. understanding chemistry and engineering I determined the plastic ball was manufactured this way. Certain plastics with a fine texture will not allow you to stick anything to them. My solution was I drilled a fine hole in the ball took a T bar sewing pin in the hole grabbed it with needle nose pliers squeezed the bottle to force air against the ball and it popped out. to plug the hole you made I found hot glue the best solution, squeeze a bit out on some paper take that pin you used and get some in the hole take your finger and wet it, spit is best because you want to press this in the hole and make the plug smooth remember your fingers have a texture they are called finger prints so as you press down you sweep it takes two seconds. by using hot glue you can pop out your plug by scratching it off then making a new one. don't be naive, this is very prevalent in in alt health people, my daughter and I are both certified professionals. So when I say big brother is watching these hacks they are. Manufacturers do not want you refilling and they scan You Tube for inventive people I wrote the directions rather then producing a video they only scan videos. The people that protect their interest the most are printer manufacturers, over the years they manipulated the print cartridge and the printer it's self. now if you try to refill your printer is disabled. They want you to do this because they can sell you a new one. More and more roller balls will be manipulated and the great news they hit the peak of technology they are not going to invest more time and money into a plastic ball Good luck

WOW! Thank you for solving this conundrum. I wouldn't have thought of this in a million years. All the best

Thank you so much! I’m excited to try this and see if I can get it to work so I can add essential oils to my unscented roll on deodorant.

Thank you! I’m very thankful for you posting your trick!! 💕

Simply genius. Thanks for showing it to the whole world.

[Riitz]

Thank you so much, I never would've thought about it!

[BunnyLove]

exactly what I needed! thanks so much!

[nickhiggins]

Thanks so much for your helpful video. Did this, and needed help from Hubs, because my grip strength is awful. Your voice, and delivery are great. Easy to listen to. Do you have a recipe for your deodorant? Can you really use M.O.M. for underarms? Thank you for your time.

[musicalenchantment]

Excellent demo and very helpful: thanks!

[hfortenberry]

That is genius!! THANK YOU!! Also, I didn’t know about using Milk of magnesia. I was just planning to grind up and make a solution of the crystal rock.

[Astridah_M]

Thank you this method worked like a charm

[AbiCM]

Thank you so much this worked so well and it was so easy

[lillymarie]

Amazing hack!! Works like a dream. Thank you so much :)

I’ve never heard of using milk of magnesia for deodorant.
I might have to try it.
I’ve been using Fanta orange.
And I get compliments all the time.
But it attracts a lot of bugs

How many times did you try to remove the ball before it came out? I've tried a half dozen times and the tape just crinkles on one side. I've tried different tapes to no avail.
