Great advice Waldo. I actually used "used" corks to learn how to use my corker. We have always saved our old corks in a basket on the counter. We figured we might try some art deco thing in the future made out of corks plus it is really just a conversation piece and actually makes a nice center piece on a table.Waldo said:I would highly recommend getting a few empty bottles and making a trial run Steve with just plain ole water.

If you are going to add shrinks to them I would also recommend doing that before I put the labels on if you are going to use the boiling water method.. I always clean my filled bottles again toobefore applying the labels to them.

smurfe said:Waldo's advice would be great if you have an auto filler for your bottles to get used to it. I wish I had. I over flowed a few in the beginning and still do now if I am not thinking. Yeah, it shuts off when the bottle is full but if you pull it out of the bottle wrong, it will pop back on plus the overflow tube will back flush if not at a low enough level.
