Sealing Glass Holding Oil with Plastic Lid...

03/09/2008 10:03 PM

I am looking for suggestions for an epoxy or silicone to seal a glass container that has a plastic lid. The glass container will hold motor oil, so I need something that will connect well with glass and plastic and not deteriorate when touching oil. Any suggestions will be appreciated! I have used PC-7 in the past and had good results.

Hello Guest,

  1. Is this "sealed with a plastic lid glass bottle" intended to be shipped or transported locally or interstate?
  2. Will it be shipped or transported internationally?
  3. Is it intended to just stay a'sittin' on a shelf, in your workshop or similar place?
  4. Are you planning on storing/selling/shipping more than one of this type of bottle/plastic lid container?

If (1) above, you will require shipping registered type container/lid plus packing.

If (2) above, you will require shipping registered type container/lid plus packing, and additional certification + Customs advice etc

If (3) above, check you comply with local rules re storage, and also check with your Insurers, if there is more than a very small amount stored.

If (4) above, it is probably better to use a commercially available combination of bottle/lid, which is already approved for your purposes.

I do not know all the variables, and if you reply, with it would assist in helping you.

Kind Regards....
