I have been using a double lever corker and the first 20 or so bottles have had no problem. The last 20 or so I have done I noticed the corks are not seating all the way in. There is approx. 1/4" of a #9 1 3/4" cork sticking out. I can hear the "pop" of the cork and corker seating all the way in, like it has before but when I remove the corker and look, part of the cork is sticking out. I got ticked so got my $10 hand corker out and put the #9's in and it seats them better (albeit quite the job to get them in).
a. not sure of the brand of cork, but it is just regular cork
b. I do put them in a K-Meta solution for a couple of minutes prior to corking
c. I have had this happen on various bottles/styles so it isn't one particular bottle style/type
Thanks.
