Hi all,

Is there a good reason why rubber (say from an erasor) is
not used for replacing bits of cork (bumpers?) on clarinet
keywork? I read that it can contain sulfur which could damage
silver plating, is this an issue on nickle plated keys?
And if so, are there certain types of glue which contain
sulfur and should be avoided too?

Sorry if I am rather clueless,

Dan
