<p>I've been kind of wondering about this myself... Besides getting your replacement cap ON, what do you use for a seal, such that the water inside doesn't gradually leak/evaporate out?</p>
<p></p>
<p>I was thinking of procuring <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=test%20plug&tbm=isch" target="_blank">something like this</a> to see how well it would work for sealing up a lamp. Anyone know how tetrachloroethylene responds to neoprene rubber?</p>

<p>The crimp cap can be repaired if you remove it carefully and then use some pliers to crimp it back on.<br/><br/>The bottle doesn't need to be vacuum sealed (and it isn't anyway) so if you cant re-seal it using the original cap then yea another cap, cork or something else will work fine.</p>
