Best Answer

Vulcanized rubber was invented in 1841 by Charles Goodyear, and the new substance was immediately put into use for many purposes. In 1842 a man called Brockedon reported to the British Chemistry Association that he had invented a stopper for use in chemistry which was a cotton cord bound with flax and coated with rubber. Solid hard rubber stoppers were used to close beer and liquor bottles in Britain by the 1880s, using the internal screw stopper patented by Henry Barrett in 1872. Such stoppers were extremely popular in both Britain and America between 1880 and 1920 or so.

I have a beautiful glass globe hummingbird feeder that has a rubber stopper. How can I stop the nectar from leaking out of the stopper?

If there is debris on the stopper it might be preventing a good seal. Try removing the rubber stopper and wipe it off to remove any debris that might be on it. Clean out the hole that the stopper goes into as well. This will help ensure a clean seal between the hole and the stopper. Put the stopper back into the hole, making sure it is a tight fit. If it still leaks you may need to buy a new stopper.


How do you remove a push pull stopper from a tub drain when it has come loose?

On most push/pull stoppers the knob part that you pull on unscrews from the stopper, and under that is a slot for a screwdriver tighten or remove the stopper. On stoppers with non-removable knobs, there is a screw (usually phillips) under the stopper which can be accessed with the stopper in the up position and unscrewed to remove the stopper.
