Hi there,

Well, I had to goto Canadian Tire on the weekend to pick up an "O" - ring for my vise, after 8 years of tying, it broke, and while it was usable, it was a little bit of a pain. Anyway, while I was searching for the ring in the flip out bins, I noticed that there were tapered cork pieces of varying sizes but paid no attention to them until I headed back to the van (and since I was in the automotive section I was not expecting them, not sure what automotive use they would have but anyway, they were there). They were the kind, if you picture them about 1/4" diameter and round on one end and 1/2" diameter and round on the other and about 1" long with straight sides. Kindof reminded me of a bass popper that I saw once on the internet but cannot find now. Has anyone used these before to make bass poppers, I think they would be ideal, and since they are made of cork, what do you paint them with?

Any tips on how to use them would be appreciated.

Dwight
