Before capping I sit the caps in freshly boiled water
Some guys fill and set caps on all bottles, then come back to the first and start crimping the caps.

I also wash my caps in no-rinse and use a bench capper. With the capper I just push down and I'm done. I've had one bottle not seal!!
Just my thoughts!
Okay, seriously. I turn my bottles 1/3 turn and press a total of three times to get that perfect looking circular indent in the middle and perfect rounding all about. Maybe my capper sucks and everybody else has one that makes it look right first press.
