    Always an option. I'd love to find the right size plastic cap first though.

    Nope, I'd probably just cut some to size from wine bottle corks....

    If I go with a stopper I think I'd like to find chemically resistant rubber.
    Thanks,

    Jac, thanks for that link. I've often wondered about the standards.

    Kirk, after you've nailed down the sizes of your bottles and caps with that measuring chart, if you let us know we probably can help locate some online sources for plastic caps.

    LOL.
    Did not expect my Gaviscon will deviate far that way!
    Hopefully my language did not help to describe the bottle properly.
    While my Gaviscon is truly thick, the bottle is "hard" as well!
    Thanks for the sense of humor.

    The generosity of spirit in this forum is great, its warmly appreciated.

    Just take one of the empties down to Ace Hardware and check their little black rubber corks for the right size.

    Lots of black, beige, or silicon rubber stoppers at Amazon. Size decoder ring is here,

    If you have a brewing supply in ABQ, you could try them.
