Grow Mediums Any ideas for air-pot replacement screws

[braxx75]

So I misplaced all of the plastic screws that hold my air-pots together. I have 30, 5 gal pots so I need 60 of the plastic screws.
Unfortunately I need them like yesterday. I tried my local grow stores but they sell knock off air pots with smaller holes so the screws are smaller diameter and fall out.
Anyone ever come up with a different solution?

Cable ties?

If really needed, tightly wrap fiber-reinforced, strapping or other strong tape around the top and bottom, and maybe the center too (avoid covering air holes, or later just poke a hole in the tape where a hole was covered). This worked for me with several Air-Pots for a grow. Wire tightened around the Air-Pot top, bottom and middle should also work (like with barrels)..

I know I’m late to the party. But use zip ties. Cheap and effective.
