rubber stopper works best for blowout

you can try 318 its harder to find & expensiv but its used in sergical & dental tools & it is resistent to corrosion.

Those flexible black caps with bands are actually flexible PVC not rubber. Heat would dry them out and make them crack if they were natural rubber. Sealing the threads of the hard PVC and making them easy to spin out requires a coat of high heat silicone grease such as Chemplex 710 used for laser printer fusers, paintball guns, restaurant equipment, etc. Fills the voids in the threads, prevents sticking of plastic to plastic and is good in cold weather and with the cell heat.

Wouldnt a neoprene stopper in the tube with a light coat of silicone grease to keep it from sticking do the same as the Saran Wrap/bag but not be prone to drying out and cracking, melting from heat, etc? Additionally you can lanyard the stopper to the canister so you dont lose it when it pops. Lowes has stoppers in the same bins as the plastic and stainless items, HD may also have them. No need for the overcap that way. Just drive a screw in the top of the stopper to hold the lanyward.

That's at least 20 cents worth. I'm going to try it. Thanks!

the rubber cap/w ss hose clamps from depot or lowes that i use, can be drilled into, holds heat a lot better than pvc and can be removed anytime. all my pvc threaded parts leaked in the end. just my 2cents...

I have found some research that states 410 resists corrosion best

just get a pop-off valve...20 or less....why micky mouse it with the cap blow off?

so tell me, what works best....304 or 316 stainless? Have you had power to your cell for any length of time? I found that after using a few times...it has a film on it the prevents/hinders electrolysis.
