I have from teaching, sticking pads, caused from lack of proper swapping
can be fixed by the combination of a dollar bill (a 50 if you want),
closing the pad with the bill under it. Pull the bill out several
times..... Keep the tone hole and pad tight while pulling the bill out. If
it still sticks?????? Put baby powder on the pad. If that doesn't work....
Try a hundred dollar bill. If that doesn't work..... Selmer makes an
anti-pad stick product. To me the Selmer product looks like baby powder.
