Subject: [Spridgets] Cork SU seals

From: Mark Haynes via Spridgets <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2015 14:31:23 GMT

What is the best way to get those pesky cork jet seals soft in order to install them without breaking them? 
I've thought that maybe wrapping them with a damp paper towel and microwaving them might work. any other ideas? They don't seem to want to absorb water or oil just sitting in them.

This may - or may not - help .... =C2=A0 =C2=A0There is always a cross over=
 between good occupations. =C2=A0The trick is to find it.

Instructions
  =20
   - Fill up your pot 1/4 to 1/2 of the way with water.
   - Place the pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil over high h=
eat, uncovered.
   - Remove the pot of boiling water from the heat and drop in the corks. T=
his will both soften the corks through steaming and the boiling water will =
sanitize the corks.
   - Place the cover on the pot and let the corks sit in the water until th=
ey are pliable and give to gentle pressure. The time could range between 3 =
and 15 minutes depending upon the number and size of the corks you are stea=
ming.
   - Remove the corks and pat dry before inserting into your wine bottles.

Tips & Warnings
  =20
   - Do not boil the corks in water or soak them longer than the prescribed=
 time. This would break down the cork material and result in weakness in th=
e cork, causing leaks or pieces of cork to break off into the wine.
