          cut the bottom out with a 1" lip. cut a circular pc of plastic canvas so it could be inserted inside and glued. About 1" into the bottle.Used that new gorilla super glue. It is thick and dry's rubbery. rotated the bottle with the glue in it to evenly coat edge of plastic canvas. Let it dry over night on it's side so the glue does not run down the bottle and keep rotating. Next cut out the bottom of the bottle you cut off. Leave a lip to hold another circular pc of plastic canvas and glue it into the bottom pc. then silicone the bottom back on. I think tumblers have two bottoms so fish don't pick at the eggs.Drill 15 small holes in the cap. two holes on side so you can put suction cups on. 1 more hole where you insert the air hose in neck and tie wrap it.

                yea alot of eggs. thinking maybe cut out 4" in the middle and make it more compact. It will still hold the same amount of eggs.

                Mike yea same stuff.

                              I like to use the loctite superglue gel that stuffs awesome. the applicators really nice so you don't get alot of extra coming out like a regular superglue stick. not rubbery though.
