sugar and yeast mix....smell?

You don't need a drill, but you do need something to cut a hole into the cap with. I use a leather hole punch from my all-purpose tool. Make the hole round and slightly smaller than the CO2 tubing. I use aquarium sealant to prevent leaks. $1.79 at the LFS.

If your mom catches you using her good pearing knife to drill a hole in a pop cap you're going to be in for a world of hurt. Consider yourself warned ;)
 
Yes

yes it matters, I think 11/16ths is the size you want, better to get it as small as possible and enlarge if required. If you use silicone tubing, it may hold tight with no sealant.

It is hard to pull it through, cut on a diagonal and pull with a pair of needle nose pliers. If you can't do it, enlarge ever so slightly with the next sized bit. Keep the edges very smooth and clean, no ragged bits. Cut the tubing a bit long in case it tears and yu have to try again.
 
Thank you for all of your help!
I have thought of a cheaper and healthier alternative then a SODA bottle, its very simple, a WATER bottle.

everything you need to know about DIY CO2, except the Jell-O recippe. And trust me, you want the Jell-O recipe. More stable, lasts for 2-3 months, versus 2-3 weeks for regular. To get the Jell-O recipe, go to my website (http://aquaplants.web1000.com/art1.html - I think)
or do a search for DIY Jell-O CO2 on a search engine or here on AC forums.
