I will put it out in my out building so that no one is around it but me. I just wanted to turn some of my slick sided med bottles to purple and sell them with the rest of your common stuff for people to put into there windows and display them in that manner. Instead of digging them up and tossing them i have has a few turn in the window of my home but it takes forever that way. Alot of people out there like the purple look to the bottle. Hey if there is a need someone has to supply it right. Its not like were going to make a fortune off a slick sided med bottle. Thanks for all of the help. (in reply to idigjars) Post #: 6
