Thank you, Ollie!
The stuff reminds me a lot of glycerin~looks and feels
like it. Maybe they are similar?
Since it only takes like, a half-drop for each cork,
and it's real easy to get a little more than that on there.
A bottle of STP would last for several lifetimes,
I think......I'm still not sure if I should be using
it, though?
