How do you get the corks in? Hot glue gun?

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.

I just use Elmer's glue, and the board typically dries completely within a day. It also gives you a chance to move it around a little while still wet.

Yes. It comes with a bottle of glue but I don't use it. I've made several of these and find a hot glue gun works the best. I lay out all of the corks on the board first in the pattern I want to use (I use two vertical then two horizontal like the picture shows). This way you'll see where you have extra spaces and if you need to find a wider cork or longer cork for a certain area. Then I take out a row at a time and hot glue them in. Works well, looks great!

Turn glass bottle to the left to separate from the red part. Then the red part separates into 2 pieces. Fill bottle and with it bottle standing up bird screw the red two parts onto the bottle and invert for hanging. Make sure you take the red parts apart and keep them clean as it is easy for mold to form. Hope this helped.

glue them on or drill tiny hole in each end cap & into handle. then use correct size screw to fasten them on. that way you can always remove them later on if needed.

The Cork Pop has a seam at about half the length that twists to remove the cork. Grasp the top and bottom and give them a gentle twist - very easy!

There is a metal loop that secures the cork. You can see it in the picture a bit; it's what the ribbon is tied to. That secures it very well and it can sometimes be difficult to release the cork.

I had this exact same problem. They were wedged together and my husband and I pulling together could not get the two pieces to separate. What I ended up doing that finally worked is this: Take two butter knives and stick them under the two tabs pushing them all the way up till you can see the tip of it coming through on the other side. Work them back and form and then start tugging. These seems to dislodge and unstuck it enough so you can get the two pieces apart. They work fine after this! It seems like they got pressed too tightly together during manufactoring or maybe the plastic dimensions are fiting just a bit too snug. I noticed from other reviews that when some people opened their product it was not "stuck" in all the way - whereas mine were completely pressed together where I could not see any of the ribbed bottom part. I think that may be why they became stuck. Hope this helps! We got ours apart!

Glad you got the answers you needed. I keep a pair of tweezers in the utensil drawer. This is beneficial in relieving a stuck cork.

What was the trick to fix it when the Pinzon Penguin wine opener is stuck in closed position? Thank you.

You need a small flat tip screwdriver, they will just pop out. Just get under cap and push up.

To Seal and Preserve Wine: 1) Place the Wine Saver on the bottle. 2) Twist the top clockwise to secure inside bottle neck. 3) Twist top slightly counter-clockwise to unlock. 4) Pump the top to remove air from the bottle. To Reopen and Enjoy: 1) Lift top off bottle to release seal. 2) Lift top off bottle to release vacuum. 3) Remove Wine Saver from bottle.After you use it a couple times, these steps become automatic. The fuller the bottle is, the fewer pumps needed to release air. The less wine in the bottle, the more pumps needed to release air.

Sometimes my wine opener gets jammed, so I use a pair of pliers to pull down on the cork while pressing the extraction button. This helps me out every time.

Not sure, but I'd probably try gluing the tile to the cork. Then trim the cork with the razor or sharp knife using the tile is a guide edge.

Pieces of cork have not been found. I have no experience with dried out corks

You don't have to, no. The holes are kind of small and it would look good with sparkly paper kind of wadded up inside. The hole in the back is pretty big, so corks fall out, anyway.

If it is plastic carboy you need a bigger rubber bung, if glass you need a small rubber bung. And you can go to your local wine shop and purchase new bungs. The cork bung are just as good as the rubber o e.

Use a thin object like a chopstick or a table knife to gently restrain the cork from turning but still allowing the auger to expel it.
