If you have the same type of barrels as me ( the plastic tube type with the push on caps) then watch out, the action of the rocks on the inside of the caps will wear them thin, until they crack and leak, as mine just did all over the tumble motor housing, forcing a strip and clean up. Every time you take a lid off just feel its flexibility to get an idea of how thin it is wearing. Someone tell me how to put a picture in my message and I'll post a picture of the lid, assuming anyone wants to see it that is. On that matter just tell me how to post a picture anyway, I see there is a little button to insert an image but it does nothing when I press it. Cheers

A good alternative to the plastic lids, and bbls, is using schedule 40 PVC pipe with one glued end, and one screw on end. They last pretty well, and can be replaced at nominal cost. My Loretone routinely pushes the lids off. They seem to build up gas between the rubber and aluminum top. The PVC works well. I use a different bbl for each grit. It works out well.
