Size 0 Cork Stoppers - Standard

This was exactly what I needed. Perfect fit and arrived quickly.

I recently bought a number of same-sized stopper corks of each grade to assess ONLY their suitability for making fishing poppers. I bought sizes 00, 1, 2, and 4 in all grades. Size 0 Extra Select were out of stock so I only had Premium and Standard. In size 3, I only purchased Extra Select corks so I could compare them to the 150+ size 3 extremely high quality corks I already own. Rather than write a review under each size and grade, I will give a general review of the three grades across all the corks I ordered (105 in total) and post the exact same review under each size and grade. First off, the photos of each grade provided on the website are very accurate. By viewing them, you should have a good idea of what the pits and longer lenticels look like. In order to make my own assessment across grades as regards their suitability for use as poppers, I devised a five-point rating system based on how much, if any, filling of the pits are required to before painting. A rating of 5 means no filling was needed when applying between one and three coats of mid-quality paint (i.e., the paint typically filled any pits, sometimes completely, sometimes so that only dimples showed.) By mid-quality paint, I mean something on the order of Behr Premium Plus Ultra interior/exterior paint (I used Medium Yellow in my test). A rating of 4 signified that three coats did not cover the defects without minor filling of a cork filling product, but the finished product still looked good without filling. A rating of three signified that some filling was required for the finished product to look good. A rating of 2 signified that the cork had defects that required significant filling before painting. Finally, a rating of 1 indicated a cork that was unsatisfactory due to a defect near one end of the cork that could only be fixed by cutting the cork to form a flat base. The results of my assessment follow: 80% of the Extra Select corks were rated as quality 5 and 20% as quality 4. For the Premium corks, 15% were quality 5, 60% were quality 4, and 25% were quality 3. For the Standard corks, 15% were quality 5, 30% were quality 4, 45% were quality 3, and 10% were quality 1 (in these cases needing to be cut to form a flat base). If you tie commercially, choose Extra Select to minimize your filling work. For my personal use, I’d use all grades, and I would not fill any corks in quality levels 3-5 (I had no quality level 2 corks, so I can’t speak about them). I used to spend the necessary time to produce commercial-quality cork poppers, but in 60 years of fishing poppers, I found the fish do not care whether there are pits or not! Service is excellent; shipping is fast.

To clarify my star ratings in my recent reviews as regards the suitability of the three grades of stoppers for making fishing poppers: the Standard grade—which I rated with 3 stars—are suitable for poppers; the Premium grade—which I rated with 4 stars—as a group make very good poppers; the Extra Select grade—which I rated with 5 stars—as a group make excellent poppers.

We had just a very small order, but the service was superb!

Easy online ordering for all size orders, and wonderful, quick shipping.

Exactly what I wanted...very fast delivery...good prices!

Corks arrived quickly and I received just what I needed!

This was just what I needed! I wish I would have more belief in my measuring and their measurement accuracy because I bought three sizes just in case and low and behold the on size I believed would be the true fit was indeed the one. I am impressed by the quality and the quickness of how I received my items. I know where to go from now on!

This company is definitely on my go-to list for cork products for my projects and products. I appreciated the fast service, even during the COVID crisis. Stay safe and healthy!

Perfect for what I ordered them for. Excellent quality for such a reasonable price! If you require cork stoppers this is the place to get them from!

Service was quick, however, I ordered three different sizes and none of them fit the vintage salt and pepper shakers (Franscisan pattern) which I have. Would love to have some but don't know what I need.

The corks were unbelievably inexpensive when you consider that they came with free shipping. I actually ordered extras because I didn't want the company to lose money! They came immediately and were just what I needed. Fit perfectly. Very, very happy!

Corks are exactly as ordered. Delivery was prompt and relatively inexpensive. Happy to recommend this seller.

Being a novice at ordering corks for crafts, I accidentally got some tiny ones (#0) when I wanted wine-bottle size, but the company's customer service was quick to help me figure out the size I needed and to refund my erroneous order of "Barbie-sized" corks. New ones came today and they're just what I wanted (#8)! Thank you.

I ordered cork stoppers for test tubes and tiny glass bottles I use in my art work. The instructions and measurements provided on the website made it easy for me to get the right fit! Thanks!

I am a second-hand dealer and I buy and sell salt & pepper shakers. Many vintage shakers do not have corks and they sell better when they do. I am happy to have found WIDGETCO for my cork needs!

loved the corks, worked well, only had to sand down 3-4 to fit the vials. I will reorder as needed.

Great quality, love these.

Great product and great service

In stock and on time. Good quality. I made a measuring error. Needed size #2. Easy to return and reorder.

I hunted all over for very small corks. I was fortunate to find them at WIDGETCO. I am impressed with all the small items they sell that are impossible to find in local stores. They shipped promptly and I am satisfied with the items I ordered. I will definitely order from them again.

I purchased the size 0 stopper it came quickly and was exactly what i thought i was going to get. I am pleased. I should have ordered more because of the price break.

Some what small, but end's up being PERFECT for my project. Outstanding service from the company, and very quick in receiving them. Thank you.

Very well packaged, and the corks are smooth and the same size. =) great product indeed.

My corks arrived quickly, and the package was generously filled. They're perfect!

Fast service & delivery! Thanks!

Good product. Good service. Good prices.

Never thought I'd find JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR but I did at WIDGETCO... a lovely little shopping spot. Great service and great "little things".

These tiny corks were just what we needed for a project for Church Camp. We are very pleased with the quick turnaround.

The corks are in good condition and shipped fast. They were all in pristine condition.

I never received this order!

[Reply from WIDGETCO: Sorry to hear this. We can track your shipment to see what went wrong.]

Order was here before I got back to work.

Corks were great - fast service for low volume order.

Exactly as described. Fast delivery!

I live in New Zealand so I carefully measured the cork I had to ensure the ones I was ordering were the same. My order arrived this am: exactly 1 week after placing my order and the corks were identical to the measurements. Excellent value. Thanks so much.

This was the first time I have ordered from WidgetCo. It was a breeze and my order came lightning fast. Perfect transaction.

I have ordered these corks several times and have never had a bad experience! I love how my order is filled quickly and arrives fast!

They were just right for the small vials I have. And thank you for the info on how to chose the right cork. It educated me on how to chose the right size.

I bought several sizes of corks. As usual they were shipped promptly and were exactly as described

Excellent

Exactly what we needed!

You guys are awesome. Thank you ever so much for your business!
