Pencap. If you're really cheap, go to a local hotel and "borrow" all their pens and you'll have a fresh cap for every amp!

If the amp has a dot on it over the score in the glass all you need to do is:

You need a paper towel, alcohol pad, amp

roll the base if the amp up a few times in the paper towel –leave the neck and top exposed.
Open the alcohol pad. wipe down the top and neck of the amp.
cradle the amp between your thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
point the dot away from you.
slip the pouch the alcohol pad came in over the top of the amp.
tilt the amp slightly away from you to help prevent any glass from falling into the amp (not so much as to spill the content).
CONFEDENTLY snap the top TOWARD you. It takes about the same amount of pressure as snapping open a smelling salt.

Enjoy.

This was an extremely helpful thread guys...

My only question is about the actual extraction....It seems overly difficult to get it into the syringe.

put the amp in hot water for a few minutes

you can purchase an "amp-cracker" or go "ol' skool" and score the amp and snap it off with a pen cap...
