Thank's for the info, any information or link about the wax?Yes you can. What cap type originally came on it? A metal twist off or a metal screw off (hope the difference is clear). If it's the twist off, you should be able to use a regular top on a bench capper. If it's the screw off, I've seen where people reuse the cap multiple times and don't have issues with losing carb as long as it is nice and tightly screwed on. If you're really Worried about possibly losing carb, you could always use the cap and wax dip em.
Question is, do you really want to buy a bunch of those bottles just to dump them and fill with your beer? 32oz bottles are easy to find and you can usually drink what comes in those (lagunitas).
Are you filling these bottles from a keg or naturally carbonating in the bottle? It is possible these bottles may have glass that is thinner than the typical commercial long neck. Natural carbonation may produce higher pressures than these bottles can withstand.
I am not buying the bottles, I have a neighbor that drinks these 40oz budweisers and I asked him to save the bottles and caps so try them when it is time to bottle. I was curious if they can withstand the pressure of carbonation in bottle. I have tried 1 liter seltzer bottles and was not happy with the carbonation.Question is, do you really want to buy a bunch of those bottles just to dump them and fill with your beer? 32oz bottles are easy to find and you can usually drink what comes in those (lagunitas).

Usually your LHBS will sell it too if they have wine supplies. You could use like plain unscented candle sticks or other types of wax as well if you really wanted.
