Thanks Gary

I looked at them and it looks like they ship from CA so it will take about 10 days to get to me.

This is where I just got mine. Ebay #250397458808 seller - 303tat2supply
There $3.33 per 50 and they have about 500 available on this auction. Shipping is fair too.

Try this guy he wants $80.00 for 1000 or best offer. If you offer $50.00 he will take it. Not too bad.

Been there and was able to pick up a couple for the larger tubes but they do not go small enough for the cigar tubes. I think I have some coming for a quick fix and will order some for the long haul thank all for the replys.

Lowes is so high on their rubber corks it's ridiculous,

John - I've been getting my "plugs" from MightyHook (773-378-1909)
(www.mightyhook.com). EPDM Tapered Plugs used for powdercoating
and/or casting.

That is because "rubber corks" are so rare compared to rubber stoppers! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

And we won't even mention the price on cork rubbers.....................

I use this place and they are out of NJ. The silicone just pulls away from the PR after it's hard.

Where were you guys two weeks ago??? Just kidding. I did put both these links in my folder. I did find a place and got some last week. I am in the process if I ever find some time to make a couple castings. Just seems like everyday something comes up and I can not get to the shop. Thanks everyone for the links.

Don't you hate that popping noise when you pull .... no .. no.. I won't go there.

.. and I'll never open a champagne bottle without thinking of this thread :tongue:

You know, you could always cast your own silicone stoppers. It would be pretty simple to make a mold for them out of PR.

 

[Russianwolf]

to high jack the thread a bit. What sizes are people using for the tubes we use? I see sizes from 00-12 and I bet the 12 is five sizes too big for anything we need.

 

[NewLondon88]

I think that 00 and 000 will cover pretty much all the pen kits.
(maybe not the Panache..)

Take a look at www.widgetco.com. They are who I've been buying my corks for casting.
