Here is a couple of pictures of mine. I hope they help. http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo146/Smickerdoodle/Garden%20Junk/P1010297.jpg http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo146/Smickerdoodle/Garden%20Junk/P1010299.jpg

What an important reminder! And hopefully finding this in a search will quickly answer that perennial question of whether we mean the screw-cap when we talk about putting the lid or top on a jug (we don't!) I, too, have used jugs saved with the caps on--yuck! Even worse were the ones fished out of the recycling center; they were never even rinsed. That was a desperate first WS winter! I think it was Seedmama who suggested having a candle burning nearby when you clean the stinky jugs, so the flame burns the nasty smell! Unless it was you, Trudi. I saved a bunch of caps to the milk and the 2-liters, and they have come in handy. Like mmqc mentioned, for transporting water. I've also used them as invisible feet indoors, to get some things up off a floor that gets damp. Using them as pot feet didn't occur to me, though!

Hi I got my bottlecaps at our state liquor store, you could try brewing supplies as they sell where people make there own beer, I know you can order them on the web, just dont know where, I paid $2.19 for 144. I tried useing the regular bottlecaps but once they are crimped they wont smash nicely. maybe jackie knows where to order on the net as she crafts with them also, hope this helps oddie

Yes, liquid detergent & softener cap dosage markings are very badly engineered. Bottle of Wisk Liquid I have, impossible to see, the cap is deep red and not translucent so holding it up to a window or light source does not help. Same for Snuggle softener, blue cap. Tried shining a hefty flashlight at the Snuggle cap a few mins ago and and was shocked (shocked, I tell you, LOL!) to find that I could vaguely discern markings for 4, 3, 2, and 1 dosage lines. Interestingly, Wisk and Snuggle are both products of Sun. A Tide version I have (HE Coldwater) has a blue cap and IS nicely translucent ... but even so, one must hold the cap carefully level to get a proper reading. Why hell can't the caps be translucent white, or even outright transparent, with black (or some color) dosage lines? This gray cap example, I don't remember what was the product, possibly Wisk of some ilk. There's a lower "1" and higher "4" marking around the other side.
