Can you use a pop up lid from a dish soap bottle?

Hi - as long as the lid you are using closes securely (is air-tight) and fits in the construction of your hovercraft, it should work. We haven't tested these with dish soap lids. You may find that the airflow has a different rate than it might with the other lids, but that would be something you could explore.
