I hope this has not already been posted, but:
Yes, the caps do stick to the inside of the bell.
----Use a Q-tip with vaseline (sparingly) to coat the inside of the bell - works fine.
Noticed a popping sound after each capping (when I released the handle to go back to the up position)
---- I removed the bell and the plunger with spring assembly and removed from the top of the unit.
I used my finger to put a light coat of vaseline on the inside of the housing and directly on the spring (didn't need much) - no more popping.
I just received today, and did some dry runs to get used to the machine. It's built pretty well, but the sticking and popping concerned me at first. Not a big deal to resolve those problems.
