    Hi guys,

    1) I was doing some read-up articles on DIY CO2 system and most people use hot gun glue to seal the cap holes where the tubing goes through. I don't have a hot gun glue. Will those normal super glue (aka elephant glue) do the job? Any potential toxin issue?

    2) I saw pages where they have off-the-shelf caps with 1 hole / 2 holes. Are they sold in our LFS? Will the stores at Serangoon North or Seaview carry them?

    actually you can just use bluetack on both side of the cap.

    I use clear silicone sealant, the ones you can get from DIY shops. So far no toxicity issues.

    It can be used on the normal 1.5l pet bottle.

    Hi Destress,

    I've got one of this cap which was never used. Ordered but decided it was too troublesome so I went for pressurized CO2. You can have it FOC. Can sms/whatsapp me at 94771500 for collection.

    Those ready-made 2-port caps are very useful... can also be used with float switches to create DIY auto top-up systems too.
