Ormond, I guess that is my question. How "permanent would this type of
glue be and could it be easily removed? Also, I'm thinking of making =
tuning
rings out of the cork, as Clark suggested. Its an extremely rare =
occasion
that I don't end up pulling out at the barrel and the middle and if I =
don't
have things pulled out initially, all I need do is wait for the clarinet =
to
warm up and I end up having to pull out anyway. Of course, if the cork
rings were fitted tightly enough they probably would stay in place =
rather
well without glue but since I've never tried it, I don't know. I guess =
I'll
be shopping for cork soon so I can try out the idea. I would not glue =
metal
rings into the clarinet. Christy
