Size 00 Cork Stoppers, Extra Select

I was looking for a cap or stopper for a bottle with a very small spout and this was perfect!

Great product and fast service!

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.

Fast and excellent service. Corks worked perfectly

Needed to replace lost feet for a Christmas tree stand. The original feet were black rubber corks of some tiny size not manufactured anymore. WigetCo had precisely the size needed in high-quality cork. The price was right. Arrived on time. Fit was hand in glove. All is well.

I needed to cover holes in the drawers on a new dresser I purchased. These stoppers worked great! They were also at a great price!

These corks are the highest quality that I've bought.

I sought something special to fit into a key spot on a Home Decor product and luckily found that WIDGETCO had just what I needed. The Extra Select version of the cork stopper will likely be added to the part bag for several product lines. Thank you!

I try to find this item in Europe, but the quality and price from WIDGETCO is one of the best. Thanks for fast shipping.

As always, your service and product outshines the competition.

I thought it was only wholesale but they sell to people too. I luckily had one cork so measured it, ordered a bunch and voila they appeared in my mail box. thanks for the speedy service. corks are perfect.

Great, get them, it's worth a bit more for these.

These corks are top quality. Very uniform and have awesome sealing abilities.

Fast shipping, too!

Overall excellent experience. Corks were first class as was the service provided by WidgetCo. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in such products.

These corks work perfectly for my hand-blown vessels - love them!
