Plastic caps are used to seal bottle caps.A plastic cap can be fitted over a metal cap to help secure the bottle.bottle caps are usually applied by the producer, which could be a mass producer of drinks or a private producer like a home wine maker.The bottles that have had their caps removed may be resealed using home techniques.Caps are made of heat shrinkable material.A heat gun can be used to secure a variety of heat shrinkable caps.Use the tips to learn how to use a heat gun.
Step 1: The plastic seals for wine bottles are not waterproof.
The seal on the neck of the bottle has a lip at the opening to hold it in place.The seals don't extend over the cork.The wine can breathe if the central part of the cork is exposed.
Step 2: The seals on the wine bottle are needed.
There are many companies that provide these seals for home wine making.You can find home wine making materials on the internet.A tear-away band is usually used to remove seals already in place.
Step 3: Place the seal on the bottle.
The tear-away band on the end of the seal is the closest to the bottle opening.The seal won't close over the cork if you slide it down far enough.
Step 4: The wine bottle should be sealed.
The heat gun can be used on a low setting.Don't move the air over the seal in a single area.The bottle should be moved as heat is applied.Don't let the tip of the heat gun come in contact with the seal.Continue until the seal is snug.Over-shrinking the seal could cause it to crack.
Step 5: An appropriate seal is what you should get.
Shrink bands are used for the seals for bottles with screw-on caps.A seal that can slide easily over the top of the bottle is what you should choose.Shrink bands can be purchased online.
Step 6: Put the shrink band on.
The shrink band should be put over the top of the bottle so that it covers the entire bottle neck and the screw on cap.
Step 7: The seal should be secured.
Warm air can be applied from a heat gun set on low.The shrink band should not be in contact with the heat gun's tip.When the shrink band appears to be snug, apply heat evenly over the surface.
Step 8: Consider the options.
Shrink tubes won't seal at the open end of the bottle.The best option is to use a shrink cap that is already closed.These caps can be found on the internet through wire and cable companies and general electric supply houses.
Step 9: The bottle needs to be caped.
The shrink cap should be placed over the end of the bottle so that the seal can't fall off.
Step 10: The cap needs to be shrunk.
The warm air from the heat gun should be spread evenly over the cap until it is snug.The cap should not be touched by the heat gun's tip.
