@oldloggerak@gman5180 No, the cork end was stuffed into a soda/pop bottle full of water, then the water was sprinkled onto laundry to be ironed. I was for steam ironing before the spray button came out on electric irons.
@Marlayna29 Probably shrug my shoulders, and say, "O.K."
I never ask for anybody to like me, here, or in person. Regardless of what you do, you can never please everybody.
I don't want to claim I was right, because I only see possibilities and post them... not all of them are correct, and this possibility still has a ways to go before it's proven correct. We'll see.
