Help - Wine Bottle Stopper

[MartinPens]

I have made many wine bottle stoppers - the stainless steel kind. The ones that I keep and have used both got this nasty, almost chemical reaction that caused a hard bumpy substance on the stainless steel stopper. Does anyone know anything about this - how to prevent it - why it is caused. And where do I get kits that don't do this. The stopper is ruined because it's almost impossible to clean it off. I keep the tops and am waiting for an alternative or answer to the puzzle.

Sorry MartinPens, being from Paso Robles, Cal.,I was trained by Mastintuano Wineries to drink all the contents of the bottle and not use stoppers.

I sell a few bottle stoppers by telling my customers it's a totally useless item.. you finish the bottle and use the stopper to look pretty in the liquor cabinet. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
