Cool project material

[Rustyshakelford]

Since a lot of us are always looking to save a buck or two, and most of us are into doing projects and little homemade items, I thought I would share this with you. I am a sugar free energy drink junkie. I could not find my regular brand the other day, so I bought this one. Now, they taste like calf snot, and are so loaded with caffiene that I shook like a chihuahua on speed for about 45 minutes then fell asleep at a stop sign, but look at the thickness of this bottle!!! All aluminium, very thick and would make a great water bottle. It also has a plastic stopper. What did you pay for the last bottle like this at the camping store? I saw them at Target for $9.99. This bottle of bilge water ran me $2.29. Not bad!! I have a nickel setting sideways to give you an idea of the thickness of the bottle

I bought 5 of them. Been slowly feeding the contents to my dog. Nobody can figure out why he runs in circles, chases imaginary flies, scratches himself all the time, then falls asleep. Only 3 more bottles of this vile stuff to go and I will have a hoard of cool bottles.

There is a drawback. The label is actually painted on. I am experimenting with some different methods to remove it. I am thinking some heet and a match may solve the problem.

Fingernail polish remover will take it off.

Fingernail polish remover will take it off.

Tried that. It is a plastic type of paint. Not working. Tried "Goof Off" and "Goo Gone" too. I think burning it is my best option.

Airplane Remover might work.

Get a lot of those airplanes stuck on your windshield? I did not know they made airplane remover.

If you soak a pop can in it overnight...you'll wake up the next morning to find your pop can looking like it was never printed.....
