I have two dozen barely used flip tops (Grolsch-style) that I bought new from my local brew shop. I've subsequently switched to capping, but I hate to let those expensive bottles sit in the closet. The problem is they do not have a good seal and most of the beer that I've conditioned in them never develops as much carbonation as the ones from the same batch that are in plastic (PET caps) or glass with caps. So to make this a question, does anyone else regularly use flip tops and, if so, do you have recommendations for either improving the seal or replacement hardware? I hate to waste them since they're new and look so nice sitting in the fridge!
