I have now had to reset (tap back in) my CVs twice since first tapping. That's typical for me. It seems after each hard freeze (temps in teens), they are popping out enough to wet the outside bark and cause vac leaks.
Is this typical? I've visited every tap 3 times in the last 10 days. I'm wondering if I'm a little soft on my initial tapping and resets and I'm making it too easy for them to be pushed out. I can't imagine the big, big producers revisiting every single tap after every deep freeze - or do they? I'll feel better of they do, but with my work schedule, I'm losing sap on the run after a cold snap.
How far is the head of other people's CVs from the tree after tapping on a 1 3/4" to 2" hole?
