I all
Just wondering if there is some way for me to make something like the Hotlips snowpeak makes ??
I am lightening my cook pot to a 450ml titanium mug but know that the top edge will get heated after being on the stove.
By the time that cools enough to use it as a cup the drink will be cold too !!Is there some way I can make or do something to alow me to drink straight out of the hot cup without burning my lips ??
I could possibly make some DIY hotlips from heated plastic or something ??
I'd just by some hotlips but living in Australia no one sells them here and the US retailers want a stupid amount for postage of such a small item….Nov 1, 2011 at 9:55 pm #1797655Would one of those silicone wristbands work for you? You should be able to find one for cheap.
Nov 2, 2011 at 5:54 am #1797702The wristband should fit the 450 mug fine. You can use this stuff also
silicone putty.
