    Default Little help, please!

    Hello All,
    I need a littel help. We are using 50 ml maple leaf bottles as wedding favors for my son's wedding in August. I have gold shrink wrap but he and his fiancé would like to have gold foil rather than shrink wrap. I can only find foil tops for a 250 ml bottle top. Does anyone know where I can find gold foil caps that would fit small bottles? Even foil caps that would fit a 100 ml bottle would be better than what I can find.
    Thanks for your help,
    Tom

    Not sure what they want but try Bascoms. They have things for nips. Waxing looks really nice also.

    Worst comes to worst, make your own. If you determine what diameter is needed, then get a die cutter that size, get some sheets of gold foil and make them. The right size die should be available online.

    formerly had:
    3x8 raised flue evaporator
    250 GPH converted to electric, RO by Ray Gingerich
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.

    Default Thanks

    Thanks guys!
    I am intrigued by the wax idea. I purchased some goil foil but when it arrived I discovered it was crap. I'll keep looking.
    Thanks again

    On my bourbon barrel aged maple syrup I use wax on every bottle, it looks great. If you go that route I highly suggest you buy a cheap wax melter (for waxing hair for removal). I used several methods before I decided to buy a wax melter, that changed waxing from a time consuming to a very simple task. The one I bough uses a 75 watt heating element, and it has an adjustable thermostat. plug it in, set the temp, and do something else for 45-60 minutes, then wax the tops, I dip each bottle in 2x about up to 1" below the cap, then I slowly turn the bottle until the wax is almost set, then I dip it in cold water. When finished, I refill the wax beads, and let it cool. a pound of beads does a few hundred bottles.
