troy Report post Posted April 7, 2009 Hi All I have now and again orders to cover what I regard as cheap water bottles with plastic caps - I get these from a guy in Scotland but have wonered if they are avaliable across the pond with better caps, say metal or wooden one's. Would be nice to make something that could last longer. Have inserted a few picture below so you know the sort of water bottle I,m looking for. Cheers for your help.

Suze Report post Posted April 7, 2009 don't know about the "innards" of your water bottle but boy do I like the "outerds" very nice. can I ask a really snoopy question? how much do they sell for? You don't have to answer if you don't want to..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
