Product removal from 5 gallon bucket

Hi all! I recently bought 5 gallons of a polish and it came in a 5 gallon bucket. Trying to pour this stuff into a funnel to get it into a smaller bottle takes a month of Sundays so I thought I'd buy a big syringe to suck it out, but that's hard to find. Any other ideas for getting this polish out of the 5 gallon bucket and into smaller bottles?? I'm looking for a home remedy here (I've already found some stuff on the net that's a bit expensive). TIA!

Something like this?



Meguiar's Spigot For #5 Gal. Container



or this Tolco Gallon Container Dispensing Pump



They may not be the right ones for your application, but these pumps and spigots are probably the way to go.

Thanks Luke! Yeah I've already found some stuff like that, but with shipping, etc. to Hungary the price will be a bit absurd. Also I can't really wait that long for it to get here, which is why I need a "home remedy". Cheers for the effort :)!
 
You can try an empty laundry detergent gallon container with a dispenser. Just make sure you clean it thoroughly by filling it repeatedly with hot water, shaking it, and then pour out, several times until you no longer see any suds, and doesn't have a filmy feel to it anymore. Once it's clean you pour the wax you have into it, and just use that container for dispensing it from now on. You don't have to wait for shipping either, because you can drive down to a local grocery store and pick one up right away. Just make sure you take the labels off the container if you take it to jobs, lol. Don't think a customer would like seeing you dispensing wax from a Tide container. lol
 
This might sound silly but I remember from a shop I used to work at, they bought dawn in 1.5 gallon containers that had pumps just like the Tolco one mentioned above. Maybe you could find a cheap product like dawn in an economy sized container and use its pump?

Meat marinade syringe's are fairly big.

Cheers buddy, I've already called my veterinarian friend for a big horse syringe :).

Funny you say that because I thought of the same thing after seeing the big pump dispenser above :D! Thanks for the input!
