I recently purchased a hand held 'Red Baron' bottle capper. Much to my dismay I found it would not crimp properly due to the short length of the neck on a conventional Lava World globe. It simply can't close around it due to the transition starting at the bottom of the very short neck.
In addition, I bought some 26mm bottle caps from L.D. Carlson. They are the oxygen barrier type. I noticed that on true beer bottles there is a slightly sharp angle on the bottom of the lip of the bottle allowing the edge of the cap to fold under a bit tighter than it would on the rounded type found on lava lamp globes and standard pop bottles. Even so, after properly crimping one on a beer bottle I found that I could still twist the cap. Sounds like it could leak to me if it laid on it's side for a period of time.
What specific brand of capper and cap should I be using to get an absolutely leak proof seal on 10/20/32 oz. globes? Can anyone provide model, price and where it can be found? Hoping for some help on this one. I have some kittys in the house and would hate for them to be poisioned by a leaking lamp should one be tipped over by accident while I am away from home.
