    In a smoking and wine session this tool came up. Is very simple and works very good.


    1. After finishing your cigar, keep the tube

    2. Expand the opening to get to the third seal location. I used pliers

    3. Remove the paint with your favorite paint remover.

    4. After drinking your wine keep the cork. I have many corks and not all are the same so try to pick up the one that will take you place each seal.

    5. Lubricate the tube to install the seals more easily.

    6. After you place the seals, use a heat shrink tube to shrink the seals back. Thanks @m.stojanovic

    Smart idea. What kind of heat shrink are you using?

    Dave Lelonek is working on a triple seal tool. Last I heard it was supposed to be out by now but I keep checking an no tool. Hopefully some day soon.

    I used Heat Shrink Marine Grade tubing, is more stronger.

    I see- then how do you remove the heat shrink? Do you slice it off?

    I used a plastic sleeve I cut from plastic container that Costco sells food in like cut fruit mix or top of shepherds pie or meat loaf etc. Thin, strong.

    That’s also a good idea. There is not a tool available so we have to come up with the MacGyver stuff. Lol

    Wrap the plastic around a 1/2 inch socket extension hit it with a heat gun for a few seconds bends and holds shape.
