Where can I find cork plugs?
I am looking for cork plugs in different sizes from small(vessel sized) to large(25mm across)--does anyone have a favorite source or is it something Michael's or craft stores carry?
Thanks so much!

I get mine in my local hardware store. They are right where the washers/nuts/bolts are. You should probably ask where your store keeps them to save time hunting.
My nearest craft store is 20 miles away!

Thanks Janelyn!! I never go in there anymore so I completely missed it....
I think I will pass on the bulk buy though since I want several sizes and the place Toni posted has excellent prices. I am also going to pop by the hardware store to see what I can see
Thanks again!

Corks
Hi,
Try widgetco.com
They have standard and premiums in numerous sizes. Also, free shipping in the US for orders over $10.00. You can buy one cork or 10,000 corks...and then some, but that's their pricing structer.
Have fun... 
Sue

American Science & Surplus is a good place not only to find corks, but all kinds of other stuff. Plus, their descriptions are pretty funny.

GlassCraft used to carry them in all sorts of sizes (cork and I think rubber stoppers, too). I don't know if they still do. I should check the next time I place an order with them. It seems that they had the right sizes to correspond with different diameter glass tubing, too.

Thank you so much Kimberly!
I just checked the site and they also have the swivel assembly that I was looking for as well as the cork
I think it will have to wait til next month....just bought some amazing glass and it blew this month's budget to smithereens!  (but it's worth it! )
