* For more of the cork to stick out, a spacer (such as a drilled stopper) can be set inside of the corker to create more space <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1044725398889007/?comment_id=1044758208885726&offset=0&total_comments=20&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R6%22%7D Conversation with Mark Fry on Milk The Funk. 3/27/2015.]</ref>.
* ''"I like to use a rubber stopper on the plunger to help gauge the depth I want to go. A no. 7 stopper fits perfectly and when you hit the lever to seat the cork, the stopper flexes to give enough resistance, not letting you drive the cork completely into the neck. Leaves about .5-.75" of the cork exposed almost automatically. Every time.''" - Tip from Jamie Daly on adjusting the depth of the cork <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1044725398889007/?comment_id=1045043205523893&offset=0&total_comments=30&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R5%22%7D Conversation with Jamie Daly on Milk The Funk. 03/27/2015.]</ref>
* ''"When I started corking, I read somewhere to leave 5/8 inch out. I had terrible time removing the corks. Then someone said, half in - half out. I tried it to find out with that much cork out it had to be compressed by pushing down on the cork with the cage in place while twisting the wire. Although a little more trouble while caging, the payoff in ease of opening is worth it to me"'' - Tip from Mark Trent on Milk The Funk <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1037494922945388/ Recommended conversation and tips about corks on MTF with Mark Trent. 03/27/2015.]</ref>.
::* ''"Yeah, I agree with Mark. It isn't much extra that needs to stick out to make the difference. And in order to make that work you have to vertically compress the top of the cork. I had been doing that with my hand (with nightmares of something happening similar to what Tarsicio went through) until my friend suggested using a bench capper for the cork compression part. That works quite well and the cork stays compressed enough to put the cage on without much vertical force on the top.''" - Follow up Tip from Dave Janssen on Milk The Funk <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1037494922945388/?comment_id=1038591699502377&offset=0&total_comments=17&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R2%22%7D Conversation with Dave Janssen on Milk The Funk. 03/27/2015.]</ref>.
