Siphon cup caps? I'm not even sure what those are Confused [%-)] Do you mean caps to screw on the bottles? Or do you mean gravity feed cup caps?

Put a piece of duct tape over it and put a small hole in it for air. Clown [:o)] Big Smile [:D] Wink [;)]

Scott, I think 1337's referring to (metallic) cups similar to those used on Badger 350's. The siphon tube is part of the cup body and extends from the bottom of the cup upwards.

1337, I recall Aztek side feed cups have caps included with them. Perhaps you can buy a spare cup set and just cannibalize the cap for your siphon cup's use (not sure though if they will fit). Sorry I have not yet come across a commercial product as you specified. Hope this helps.

Suggestion: How about using a rubber stopper with a hole drilled in the middle? Rubber of course should be impervious to the harshest chemicals that you'll be using, such as lacquer.

Cheers,

Oh, OK, now i'm with you. I've even got a side feed cup for my Omni 3000 and didn't even think about it.

Look around the house and you might find something that will fit; pill bottle caps, anything round and cup-shaped. A piece of aluminum foil held on with a rubber band. I like Mike's duct tape idea myself.
