Rebecca,

Do you have someone helping you with the decisions about how much and where
to change the tone hole size?
If you use the shoe polish...you have to remove keywork to do it properly.
Use only small amounts and you have to place the buildup in just the right
place and in the right amount.
It might be best to let a professional repair tech help you with this.

Best of luck,

Forest Aten
