Hi Michael,

When I first started coiling I used salt water caps in both glass and
plastic bottles.  I found that the one litre poly juice bottles did
give better performance than the glass ones.  They where square rather
than round, which gave me more surface area and hence more capacity
than the round glass bottles.  You can't beat them for a cheap, easy
to make cap, but MMC's are definately the way to go when you can
afford them.
