I used to be a cork soaker, but found that ibglowin is correct. Corks soaked in k-meta are hard to remove than one that simply go in dry.
 
SOOOOOO.........in all reality and seriousness, that would officially make Wade a cork soaker!

Is it true that Wade screams "Cork Soaker" at the fish as they take his bait and swim off?

MT,
I spritz mine with sanitizing solution cover in a bowl with plastic wrap for a few minutes then bottle.
 
I usually make a solution of k meta and toss the corks into the bowl. They float and when I'm ready to cork the bottles I dunk them under and toss them in the corker. I've never had a problem with stuck corks or broken down corks. I use only natural first quality corks. The water helps to lubricate the cork and slide it in the neck.
