Denise,

You're correct. However, when corking a tenon, don't use
alcohol;
it dries the wood and more importantly, it it's a plastic clarinet, it
can
cause the plastic to "craze," causing the tenon to break.

Yikes! Like I said, I am NOT a pro! I haven't done any wood clarinets,
only plastic (unfortunately :-). What do you recommend to remove all
the old cork grease and adhesive?

Thanks!
