Good news for Canadians and Americans:  I recently discovered that the =
valved caps from liquid detergent bottles can be screwed onto plastic =
16-ounce coke bottles.   This makes a great contamination-resistant =
container for abrasive slurry used during fine grinding.   The top is =
easily sealed by pressing it down.

Mexican glass coke bottles with press-on caps will not work for this =
purpose.  Since Vincente Fox, the president of Mexico, is a former =
executive of the Coca-Cola company, he must be aware of this and he must =
be conspiring against telescope making in Mexico!

Next:  Organic chemistry help please.  I am looking for a solvent that =
can soften and dissolve polycarbonate soda bottles.   This might enable =
us to make many kinds of small plastic parts while recycling evil =
plastic.  A similar solvent for plastic grocery bags could also be =
useful.   Melting with heat does not seem to work well.   What to try?  =
Turpentine?  MEK? Acetone? Various Alchohols?  It should be something =
available by the gallon at Home Depot.  No benzine, please.  =20
