    That would do the trick for sure as long as the connection was good clean and tight because it is going to be next to impossible to in pot it once the silicone sets up but this would be true for any of the previous suggestions
    Another reason why I should be saving the wife's prescript bottles
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
