This may - or may not - help ....    There is always a cross over between good occupations.  The trick is to find it.


Instructions
   
   - Fill up your pot 1/4 to 1/2 of the way with water.
   - Place the pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil over high heat, uncovered.
   - Remove the pot of boiling water from the heat and drop in the corks. This will both soften the corks through steaming and the boiling water will sanitize the corks.
   - Place the cover on the pot and let the corks sit in the water until they are pliable and give to gentle pressure. The time could range between 3 and 15 minutes depending upon the number and size of the corks you are steaming.
   - Remove the corks and pat dry before inserting into your wine bottles.

Tips & Warnings
   
   - Do not boil the corks in water or soak them longer than the prescribed time. This would break down the cork material and result in weakness in the cork, causing leaks or pieces of cork to break off into the wine.

 What is the best way to get those pesky cork jet seals soft in order to install them without breaking them? 
I've thought that maybe wrapping them with a damp paper towel and microwaving them might work. any other ideas? They don't seem to want to absorb water or oil just sitting in them.
