- Fold a piece of paper towel twice lengthwise and tear into three equal strips.
- Place a large plastic sheet on top of the 2x4’s to prevent mess.
- Cover Xerox box with plastic wrap and place on the 2x4’s.
- Mix glue and water in a large container to a 1:1 ratio.

- Block of wood 11 3/8 by 3 7/16 by 1 7/8
Directions
- Clean the 2L pop bottles and let dry.
- Center the two pop bottle lids on the block
- Draw a circle around the centered pop bottle lids
- Drill a hole in the circled area 1 ½ cm wide and 1 ½ cm deep.
- Fill the hole with hot glue and center the cap inside the glue so the bottles can still be attached.
- Put a screw through the center of the cap while the glue is still hot to keep it attached better.
- Wait for it to cool.
- The oxygen rig is now ready.
- Make sure the bottles don’t get permanently attached to the caps, you won’t be able to change the oxygen anymore.
