What to take these on a trip and would like to know about ease of opening honey stick, can I do it without a scissors?

Great question. Sometimes I can easily open them with my teeth and they pop open, but sometimes the pressure causes the other end to open and the product drips on me. I suggest scissors.

You need scissors or a knife to open these. They ae good and nice to travel with.

I've only tried opening them with scissors. I like them and so does everyone in the office.

They cut excellent with scissors. I found that out after using a box cutter knife.

They are square so it would be easy to cut a piece for a travel palette. It may be more fun to just package the sticks in a travel friendly pouch instead of the tin. I would love to see your work.

Yes, very easy, a light weight pair of scissors works, no need of any heavy duty cutter.

Yes, I suggest surgical scissors similar to the ones a nurse might use. Also I rinse the scissors with alcohol before making the cut. Make sure the remaining material is stored in a germ free container or reseal it in the original package. Simply use germ free procedures as nasty bugs are every were as you know. Good luck.

Sure. They're easy to cut. I think Scar Away also has 3" ones if that's a better size for you.

Its not too thick a paper, so there are chances of you tearing it in case of a very sharp pen.. You might just wanna use a normal stick pen Hope this helps !!

William -A sharp scissors or utility knife will work great. No need for a hot-knife.Thanks!

These were used for a school's holiday bazaar and no one complained that they were difficult to open. I also found them easy to open. I think there were one or two odd ones that I tossed to the side, in a hurry, because they wouldn't immediately separate. Hope this helps.

They are made of really soft silicone and with some manipulation you'll be able to get most of the product out. It doesn't have any corners that the product can get lodged in but, like a toothpaste tube, the stuff around the opening is difficult to squeeze out but not impossible. You can always unscrew the top and reach in with a q-tip or your finger to get the very last dregs. I have traveled with these for years and swear by them.

I took pictures of a bee hive honey harvesting operation and got a bit of honey on the outside of the shutter blades. I managed to carefully wipe it of with a q-tip moistened in hot water and it works fine most of the time. If they do hang up I grab the camera like a hammer, depending on which vane section is hung up and tap it gently against the palm of my other hand. That so far has worked to close or open the shutters completely.

the small scissor is spring loaded for use, the rest is not, but you can easily open them. the knifes are designed for easy one finger (thumb) opening.

You don't have to open the bags. This product didn't work for me mice just ate everything I didn't even see one dead mouse, for me after using this product the mouse problems got worse. I ordered snap e mouse trap that was the best decision I made so far no more mouse. Good luck

I used some sharp scissors and didn't have too much of a problem. They are tough, but they are good for my little ones. I did buy the larger size so I couild split them for the same reason you stated. I think you will be pleased with them.

Honestly I've never used one of these before in fact coming across it on Amazon is how I learned about it....so I figured I would buy the smallest size and go from there. Which would be my recommendation to anyone else new to them. I haven't used mine yet (I keep forgetting to pick up the correct alcohol to keep it clean in apparently regular rubbing alcohol will damage it) but the company was extremely wonderful by sending me info on use and care tips before I received mine and they have since sent me even more info which I appreciate so very much. But back to answering your question (sorry to get off track there) for a beginner I would say the smallest needle size and not a super costly one..
