I think thats a good tip with the wax paper, Im going to try that because its so hard to get it all from packet and not spill some. And 2X on washing with RO water, also a little drying stand works great. Think wine decanter drying stand...

i cut the top off and then tear one side all the way open so I can spread the packet more. then i do the tap and i can get very close to all of it into the vial. it's still quite a pain tho i'm going to try the wax paper idea.
