 I probably seriously screwed up my burst plugs but....... I simply filled 
the plug with a drop of electrical solder using the old solder gun, cut the 
excess lead off with a knife and screwed that bastard back down on the 
original burst disc. I work with EXTREME pressures everyday and can guarantee 
that bitch won't blow. It has to pierce the center of the disc to blow and if 
the center has no where to go it ain't gonna blow. 
 Best of all it took about three minutes to do every tank I own . It ain't 
rocket science.

 By the way this is just the way I do it. Don't try it yourself.
