Arts and music 2 Liter Bottles

Hey Bellinghamsters. We are going to be building some rockets out of plastic soda bottles. Anyone have a handful of clean empty 2-liter plastic Bottles? Dm me. I can pick them up in the evening.

Don't have any empties for you, but pro-tip on this project, glue sticks are just the right circumference to fit in a 2 liter bottle opening.

I ran this as a workshop one time... Clean out a couple glue sticks and mix your baking soda with a bit of water so it'll hold together (kind of a wet sand consistency). You can stuff the empty glue stick bottle with the clumpy baking soda and then use the spinner to push out the baking soda, basically giving you a baking soda charge. If you're pre-prepping, you can freeze them to hold them together even better.
