Re-using bottle caps...

[Duster]

I have purchased these cool bottle caps only to use them once....

Kinda sad -= I was thinking I would like to reuse them again, especially if I gently take them off........ does anyone re-use their caps ? What dangers lurk beyond ?

Caps are cheap. Buy more of your cool ones. Why risk a beer that costs you anywhere from 50 cents to a couple bucks on a 5 to 10 cent cap?

For such a small price... It's just not worth cutting corners.

I wouldnt waste my time but if the are sanitized and seal there shouldnt be a problem.

Don't re-use bottle caps.

Goodness.

I reuse them to fling. Don't risk screwing a brew up.

no. Just no.

I think the issue may also be that the oxygen absorption property of the original cap may be spent up. Best to not take a chance.

Same rule as toilet paper - don't re-use it.
