Kilner jars.
"Janet" wrote in message ... In article , says... "Baz" wrote in message ... I went to the car boot market this morning to get me spring cabbage plants and bought a box of 30ish 1 and 2 pint kilner jars for £3.50. Most of the seals are nacked, but no problem I can make some. I'd be very interested to know how to make home-made seals for Kilner jars that are safe to keep the contents. Tina Why take the risk: proper new ones are easily available. Janet wouldn't dream of it, just interested about Baz's idea of buying Kilner jars and finding a way to seal them safely without buying the proper seals. How does that work, Baz? I'd really like to know. |

Janet I have not found any for imperial jars. wouldn't dream of it, just interested about Baz's idea of buying Kilner jars and finding a way to seal them safely without buying the proper seals. How does that work, Baz? I'd really like to know. It works very, very, simply indeed. You need tools, (a pair of compass and a craft knife) and FOOD SAFE rubber or neoprene sheet, 2 or 3mm thick. You use the compass to draw a circle and use the craft knife to cut it out. You shorten the radius to suit and do the same to create an "O" ring. Now that is not difficult is it! That is the long way round. I doubt you would be interested in putting a scalpel blade into a set of dividers. Baz |

"Christina Websell" wrote in message ... I think I could do that! I'm always interested in ways to recycle and refurbish outdated things when it's not always possible (or easy) to get the part you need. Cheers, Baz, much appreciated. Tina For those not too expert with compasses, scalpels etc. then large sharp scissors can be a godsend cutting shapes in many sealing materials. Pete |
