You can order them with one ridge. I have not as they seem kind of pricey. I put the gasket on a flat surface and use just the blade from a razor knife. Does not have to be perfect. I just canned some amber that was stored like this from 2016. Was just like when I put it in.

For now, I am using the red Oatey 2" expanding conduit plugs, I put a sandwich bag over it, and tighten it as tight as I can by hand, they have worked great so far

Even with sandwich bag over it? I've been using them for 3 years now and no problem

You'll get 3 years out of them, but don't expect too many more. The sandwich bag traps the moisture and they will actually rust faster. a sandwich bag is a good idea, but its not a cure all. The rubber seals get stretched in will start to crack and break down, especially the little rubber seal surrounding the round head bolt facing the syrup.
