Midwest Bottle Bench Capper?

[MattMJB0188]

I've never done this before and just had some general questions.  I wanted to swap the liquid in a few of my 32oz globes but afterward I want them to look like the cap was never broken.  If I use a flat head screw driver to pry off the cap and then reseal the cap with a bench capper, will it look professionally done?

If anyone can please share any experience they have with bench cappers that would be really great.  I am looking into buying this capper from Amazon:

Would love to see some results if I could.  Thanks

why not just use a pipe clamp and squeeze them back into shape

Because this seems like it might do a more professional job.

I know you're not wanting this answer, but it's a lot cheaper and worked really well for me:

I guess I can try that.  Considering its cheap.  How did your red blue cap look afterwards?  Could you tell it was tampered with?  What makes me more nervous is using a flat head screw driver and prying off the cap.

I wasn't very careful when I took off the cap, so you can tell it's been opened. But that was my fault.

I don't use the methods which save the cap, I use a hand bottle caper, a hammer and some caps and it works fine and its cheaper then a bench caper. If you are going all out then a bench caper is the best option as its easy to use, caps faster then a hand caper and there is no risk to axedentaly hitting the glass and braking it.

Is using a flat head screw driver the best way to remove a cap though?

[Tim Gill]

Yea if its a small flat head, that is probably the best tool to use to get it off.
