you only need to fill the bottle 3/4
place the bottle on a clean bag to catch any resin use a small jug or cup to fill the bottle its time consuming.... shake bottle to settle resin then refit fitting

Stick a bit of sellotape over the top of the riser tube to stop any resin going down it (don't forget to remove it before use).  I use a watering can for this job.  Just tip the resin in the can and tap the can as the resin goes into the cannister.  Ensure that the riser tube stays central though as it can be harder to move it as the resin bottle fills with resin.
