FYI on corks for poppers

Does anyone have a good process for cutting foam popper heads. I do have a set of punches and the darn things are tough on your hands! I'm curious as to how everyone else does it! Thanks

Some folks use empty brass cartridge cases also. They drill out the primer hole and insert a small bolt with the small bolt head inside the cartridge (you may first need to punch out the old primer if using old cases). Then they use a lock washer and a nut to tighten against the cartridge base. Sharpen the outer edge of the case and chuck the bolt into a drill (cases like rifle cases with necks can be sawed off with a hacksaw). Different size cartridge cases can give different size foam plugs.

You folks that use cartridge cases...how do you get the foam plug from inside the case?...stop the case just short of going all the way through the foam...so you can crab it?
