Hi Clive,

Sorry, no.  The plastic used for soda bottles is unsuitable for a TC cap
dielectric.  I don't know that anyone has ever made a successful TC bottle
cap from any sort of plastic bottle.  It may be that the corona usually
seen at the foil edges on a glass-bottle cap is a fatal condition on a
plastic bottle, burning through it in short order.
