I am sending a care package to Iraq. The packaging problem is in resealing the bottom of the "mouth wash" bottle.

I burnt a small hole in the bottom to squeeze in the new contents, but I'm having trouble resealing it. Melting it back together is not working. I don't know if I should try epoxy or not.

Does anyone know of an easier safer way?

Semper Fi! :marine:

Oh Wing! I am so disappointed in you! You know you do not send Alcohol to the troops. Firstly, It may offend someone! You know that Marines don't drink that stuff! :-)

But, it seems to me that a football needle cut off at an angle, a bit of tubing, and a funnel would be most advantageous. It is easier to fix a two small holes (one for air and the other for fluid)in the top than it would be to fix a single hole in the bottom, or it is even better to put them in the top of the seam of the plastic bottle, and super glue the small holes shut and remove the excess glue from around the holes. Of course, I would not wish for you to use any of these methods, because it is wrong to do!

Don't forget to match the color with the new liquid! Some times a little food coloring will help, depending on what may be the final product you are wishing to send. But, again, I must plead with you to not corrupt our fellow Marines in battle.

Say hello from all of us! And, tell them 'Good Hunting!'
