If I put liquid in these & sealed the cork with e6000 superglue would any liquids come out? And how sturdy are the corks will they fall apart?

I think they would easily hold liquid with super glue. I have embroidery beads in mine and have only had one incident. The cork got stuck and it was hard to remove.

We filled then about 3/4 full with water, pushed the corks in to the point where they might be difficult to remove without some tool, and shook them vigorously for several seconds, then observed for several minutes with no leaking.

I had this happen recently. I carefully used the corkscrew on a Swiss Army Knife and rotated it gently until it gripped the broken tip. Then I pushed the release button down hard and the broken tip slid right out. Go slowly.

I used these corks in the clear and cobalt blue wine bottles, BUT you will have to get one of those corkers to get them in, as they fit VERY tight. They do work though,, hope this helped a little.

Hi Heidi, did you ever try this? I was wondering the same thing one doesn't seem to hold the corkboard....thanks

I would recommend the cork gasket... Keep in mind, these sheets are 8'' X 11'' .... If the cork would fail , maybe try the rubber based gasket... Was there any old gasket left upon removal , do you know what the old gasket material was/is...

I don't know about the cork because I use the caps which work wonderful. I am sorry I could not be more helpful.

I've never left an open bottle in the fridge with one of these corks, but they are so firmly snug and work so well, I doubt you would have a problem. They go on tightly, but provide a good grip and are quite manageable. Best bottle stoppers I've ever had, and at an incredibly low price.

Hi Kay, I just went and shoved one in a beer bottle. It fits in with about 1/2 inch sticking out the top. I'm not sure what you are planning on using these for. But they are very tapered, so they wouldn't seal something completely for long term. I used them for making decorative wine bottle stoppers. The kind you us for the short term after opening a bottle of wine. They worked great for that. Regards, Shelley

These bottles are very strong. I put what I want in them. I find them very handy. The lids are cork, so make sure you close them tightly.

I've only put M&M;'s in the jars, not liquids. Since the lids are corkboard, oils and liquids would probably soak through. I don't think the lids would be strong enough.

Yes they are. You do need to be careful when pulling wine out if there is another bottle on the same shelf as it can fall out. I have broken 1 nice bottle of wine while learning this lesson. Other than that for the price the fridge works great. Some reviews said it was loud, but I disagree.

You need a small Philips screwdriver to remove all of the screws, and once you pull apart the body use the screwdriver to push down the cork while pressing the 'up' button that would ordinarily eject the cork. It's a pain in the neck to do, yet possible with patience.

The bottom of the bottles comes off - to get the cork out, you have to remove the plastic seal on the end. It is fairly easy to push the cork INTO the bottle. Several recipients did get everything out through the small end, and boy did I hear about their struggles.

a Hot glue gun would work, but I used the yellow carpenters glue. One string across the back of each cork. Cork is a wood and I figured a wood glue would work better.

my understanding is the gas is heavier than air and sits on top of the wine. I push the corks back in as far as possible so they don't leak the gas out. If the cork is in there, jostling shouldn't matter.

I have not tried to use them with liquids, but I can say they are tough and if I had a reason to use them with liquid, I would not hesitate. I can say I feel they are very good quality and have held up very well to the storage uses I have used them for. I sealed dry goods then "stuffed" as many as I could into 5 gallon buckets with a lid for long term food food storage. I have not had any problems using them.

Hi - to retrieve the cork, simply push the button on top. It's surprising how fast it comes off. I hope this helps.
