[COHO] reusing plastic corks

[GaryWirt]

Tim,

This is speculation, but I'm wondering if the used plastic corks might
remain somewhat compressed from their original size?  ...so that you might
not get a good seal on the bottle a second time?

Subject: [COHO] reusing plastic corks

I have been saving some wine bottles and plastic corks with the idea that I
will reuse them when I make wine or mead.  Is there any downside that I
don't
know about in reusing the plastic corks?  They seem like they would be easy
to
sanitize and shove back into a wine bottle, but I'm curious if there is
anything I don't know about it or if others have done it to good effect.
