Important safety note:
If you are holding the bottle in your hand while drilling, wear a freakin' leather glove.
If you are running tap water on it while drilling, your leather glove will get wet and feel nasty, thereby temping you to take it off. Do not give into temptation! Better a wet glove than a hand that is cut to ribbons.
~~~~~~~~~~
Also, you can use silicone instead of wax. It lasts a lot longer and makes a better seal. COAT THE STEM IN VASALINE first, position it, then apply the silicone. The Vasaline will keep the silicone from sticking to the stem while it drys.
