A trick I learned with those caps, you put a rubber O ring inside the cap, the O  ring outer diam the same size as the inside diam of the cap.

The SO asked me today, "what are you going to do to day"? I said "nothing".  She said, "that's what you did yesterday"! Me, "Yes love, but I was not finished yet"!!!!!!!!
