Salt and pepper rubber stoppers
Where do buy the rubber stoppers for the end of turned salt and pepper shakers?
Searched a few of the most Likely places with no luck . I could be typing the wrong name for them in the Carbatec search window .
I'm not paying $21 for postage from US . Hopefully somewhere in Vic or AU

Ring up your local chemistry department at college/Uni.
Ask them where they shop. Fisher? VWR?
Don't be offended if they go all paranoid on you.

Plastic plugs for salt and pepper shakers | woodturning projects | Craft supplies | Tasmania
I liked the look of those white rubber ones in last link better better though

Did you consider making cork ones ?

Thought about it Mark but didn't think they looked like they'd work as well as those white ones .
The flexibility and the little recess looks like they would hold well .
And if a cork get jammed in and the sides start crumbling trying to get it out .
Could be worth a try shaping a pair to be a good fit though and see if it works .

Have you thought about turning some stoppers from the bits of waste wood to the size you want I did this with my one and worked very well.
