Default Cork sizes?

Can anyone tell me the smallest cork size? I ordered some from pilotvials and they are great but I was wanting even smaller. The ones I got are #000.
Thank you for any help.

I thought #000 was really small! wow! Maybe a scientific supply would have them. Probably by milimeter.

I would be happy to take the 000's of your hands also If you don't need them
buy or trade

I just bought #0000 from widget.com. I use them for the vessels I make using the hollow mandrels I got from Tink. Lets see, I know its not 1/4 hollow mandrells, they are smaller than that, I'll go look in my records.
Whoops, forgot to tell you that they cost 20.00 for 100 with free shipping.

Thanks for your help. The ones I have fit a 1/4 inch mandrel. They were only $5.99 for 100 plus $5.00 shipping to Australia. Not too bad! I am wanting the 0000 ones too. Thanks again.
