I know corn gets down in between the barrel and the funnel and gets trapped there. Before I start using it again here shortly, I am thinking of buying a metal funnel and replacing it. any suggestions or anyone know where I can find one in the Abilene area?

It is super sticky, and the metal forms to the surface. It is better for sealing than gray duct tape. The aluminum tape has a peel-off paper backing. Not permanent, but could get you a couple more years without spending much money.
