Got a weird question for you guys. Have you ever taken a stubby spout and just tried to use it as a tap? Will it seal up like a regular 7/16 tap? Theron

I haven't tried it but I don't think it would work. I don't think there is enough of a taper to allow it to seal good.

Jeff- Thats what I was wondering. Plus if there was much tree bark that would probly make it though is what I was thinking. Theron

theron you better get ahold of your self. too much thinking like that is not good for your mental health. put an adapter on the stubby as was made for.

He is wanting to start tapping in November and then ream holes to 7/16 about March 1st so he can make syrup 6 months out of the year. Maybe Dr Perkins has a good therapists he can recommend! :)

No therapist can cure what he has...but how about a prescription? Bombay Sapphire Gin*, take 1-2 doses in the evening. Cures whatever ails you. :)

* Other spirits of your choosing may be substituted.

No, guarantee we don't know and probably don't want to know. We know you won't be happy until you get a gallon per tap! LOL!
