COMP-150

38 mm top diameter, 25 mm bottom · Compressed cork, smooth flat top · Tapered, so it wedges into a neck rather than matching it exactly · Suits bottles, flasks, and wide-necked jars · Aftosa part COMP-150 · Sold singly

A tapered composition cork, 38 mm (1 1/2 in) across the top and 25 mm (1 in) across the bottom, for bottles, flasks, and wide-necked jars.

Compressed cork, so the face reads as a fine even mosaic of granules rather than a single grain, and it takes a clean flat top. Being tapered, it wedges into a neck rather than having to match one exactly, which makes it forgiving on thrown and hand-built work where no two necks come out quite the same. Measure your neck across the inside of the rim and take the cork whose bottom diameter is a shade over it.
