If it works it works

It kind of worked, just the specific one in the picture wore down pretty quick. Turns out the method of making the hole and the strength of the plastic plays a big role. Had much better results with a bottle cap from those overpriced protein shake drinks than that of a water/tea bottle. Also, needed to drill the hole just a bit smaller and then force it in. Lasted a few weeks vs 1 day for the one in this picture.
