Getting lid off tumbler

I’ve never used a tumbler and was given a ‘beginners’ tumbler by a friend. I bought 2 barrels and…I can’t get the lid off! It is all rubber, I took off the rubber ring, but for the life of me, I can’t budge the lid! any secrets? I can’t pry it off without breaking seal, right?

aaacchhh! I got it! lid was INSIDE the rubber edge. sheesh! never mind…phew

Even if you know how they go together, taking them apart the first time or even if they sit for some time is a chore. Good luck…Rob

Just pull the rubber edge/lip out with your finger all the way around and then pull up on the lid. It’s a very tight fit.

thanks folks! the trick I didn’t realize is that the lid slips in and sits from the top. I thought the whole rubber edging piece would come off. tricks! lol Judy

I am so glad I’m not the only one! I was sure the rubber was attached to the lid as well! Thanks @Mariannejenningsstudio I did eventually pull up on the lip, but worried that I would weaken it, good to know it’s how it’s done. :smiley:
