Hi Monna,

It is exactly the same tape you use for sealing metal tubes threads, and you
can buy for a song in any DIY shop.

If your corks have been greased, just clean them up with a few drop of
alcohol on a piece of cloth, and allow to dry
before wrapping with Teflon film. As explained in another post, give some
tension to the film while wrapping, so that
it hold tight around the cork. If not OK at the first attempt, just try
again : it is so cheap that you can afford some
trial an error.

Regards,
Christophe
