> Our club met today and decided it was time to make new show vases. Our currert vases are PVC pipe that slip into redwood bases. The bases could be re-used, we just need to purchase new PVC, cut and make plugs for the ends. The plugs for the ends are the challenge. A couple of us have tried to find something at the hardware store, but still find them leaking. We can put on a PVC cap, but the cap is larger than the pipe, and doesn't balance well in the base. Does anyone have ideas on a simple but good method to seal the end of a PVC pipe (inside) that will be permanent for upwards to 10 years? If you want to send ideas offline, please do.
Fill about 3/4 inch of the end of the pipe with Silicon Rubber. Smear it
slightly around the botton edge. Or how about a simple rubber or cork
cork? Seal it with Silicon Rubber. The stuff comes in tubes that fit in
one of those caulking guns.
