As a repairman, I find your "emergency" padding very interesting. I
believe the plastic film you describe might be "Seran Wrap" here in the
US. I think everyone should remember such things for dire emergencies. I
would do so myself "in an emergency."
My only reservation would be that some will "live" with these emergency
measures in place and not have them taken care of in a timely manner. I
have seen, too many times, such repairs done, either by the player or by
a well meaning band director, and the repair is left in this
questionable state only to fail at an inopportune time a little further
down the road.

============================================================

In Orchestra, the Bass Clarinetist had a pad fall out. The pad was under a
layer of keys, so using a flame was out of the question (this was on the
job). She was trying to heat the area without burning the instrument when I
got out my toothpaste tube, and said - here, try this as a temporary
cement. It worked great!! (you know how hard dry toothpaste is)
