perfume bottle cap inserts

[Guest guest]

Hi to all,

a question to the learned:

after making a perfume, using it up (on me and friends) i want to recycle the

bottle,

The glass cleaning part i got... (read up on that)

the problem i encounter is with the caps.

plastic gets the smell stuck to it and will not let go, and i can't boil it

cause it'll melt

(by the way, as far as sanitizing before bottling i'm a little confused about

that too, before bottling a perfume i boil my glass bottles to have them

sanitary, and throw in the caps for just a short while, don't like risking the

caps geting distorted, and sometimes they do. but i don't know if theres any

other way, any thoughts on this would be appreciated as well)

so i figure i should replace the inserts that we put in the cap to keep the

liquid from driping, you know what i'm talking about? some kind of oiled

plasticky paper?

or a more solid plastic shaped like a cone so that any liquid will drip back

into the bottle

i don't know what the material is called, but where can i buy something like

that?

and what do others do about recycling the caps?

all the best,

Hemla
