Subj: Increase your Grease
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 19:47:45 -0400

I haven't seen this subject approached at all in the short time I've been
a list member, but I may as well throw it in there and show everyone how
green I am. Is one kind of cork grease better than another, or are they
all pretty much the same? Can one grease one's corks too much? My clarinet
goes together with some degree of difficulty and I tend to grease the
corks quite often. Is this OK? Another question: what is cork grease made
of? I kid you not, my dog loves to eat cork grease! Is it safe? I don't
feed him a steady diet of it but he gets the occasional nibble when I'm
not looking. (No, Bill and Scott, his jaws do not go together more easily
after this.) Well, it's a dumb set of questions but I would like some
input on this. Oh Lord, it's hard to be a rookie!
