Airlock for bottling

[Deghisagorah]

So I've been brewing a gallon of mead and is planning to age them in bottles, I've ordered 6 1L glass bottles that come with these plastic corks.

Now I dont have enough airlock because my only airlock is a DIY airlock that works quite well (i cant buy legit airlocks cause their prices are over inflated here and its hard to look for them without online surfing) now the problem is I dont have enough materials to make 6 more for my glass bottles, and I dont really want my mead to be on the ceiling so any of you have any ideas on items or techniques for releasing preasure without letting my mead oxidize ?

Can you use a piece of tubing that fits tightly in the bottle mouth as a blowoff tube into a cup of sanitzer?

Why are you bottling it before it is done fermenting? Just wait and then use the corks.

Oh, my carboy is plastic, and its not exactly airtight on the lead... So i guess i just dont want to leave it in the carboy for too long

Just wait. If it's fermenting, it's pushing gas out. You could also pose your question in the mead forum; you might get some other responses. I've only made mead three times, and the last time was 2007.
