Hi. I've read about the Liter of light but do you have specific directions on production? I noticed they seem to tape the top of the bottles and then cover them with some kind of paste. I assume this is to keep the heated water from blowing the off. Did you just tape the bottles into the holes you made, once you got to the Playa? Thanks Julie
