- Another thing you can do is add water to the bottle so that the oil
- goes all the way to the top. Doing this reduces the amount of oil
- that comes into contact with air by reducing the air in the bottle.
- The water sinks to the bottom by the way. Someone may have posted
- this in a later part of the thread but I am just reading the
- thread now so sorry in advance!
