It's also a pain to get the bottle squirting into there... You'll be holding the bottle up, at a funny angle, squeezing it, for a good long time.
My favorite way is to get some 3/8" clear tubing, put it on the spout of the bottle, stick the other end of the hose in the rear end, then stand up and squeeze the bottle until it's oozing on the ground. Done.
