im trying to seal my maxi-jet 1200 to a 2 litre cut pop bottle to make a Co2 diffuser. im also going to seal an air line to an external bottle via cap of bottle. this airline will then travel to the bottom of the 2 litre cut pop bottle with the maxi jet on it (inside of the tank). the Co2 will rise from the air line and the maxi jet with blow water into the bottle mixing water with Co2. i will also be making my own Co2 using house hold ingredients. ill post some pictures and explain more once i get the information i require to start my first DIY project!

whats a good safe epoxy sealant to use for these applications?

also is the glue toxic that bottles of pop have on the outside? the glue that hold the stickers in place? whats a good safe way to remove it if it is?

thanks.
 
"also is the glue toxic that bottles of pop have on the outside? "

Unlikly in those small amounts.

"whats a good safe way to remove it if it is?"

Soaking it overnight in water is a safe bet.

Sorry, I'm not sure exactly how this set up will work. Sounds like there will be some resonable pressure involved.

Try a couple of different things and report back, I guess.

lol, no there wont be a huge amount of pressure created; as long as i don't leave a sealed cap on my home made Co2 . its fairly simple and safe.
