This reminded of something a good repairman told me last week. I was
having 2 mouthpiece tenon corks replaced, (both had become unglued).
The repairman asked me how often I used cork grease on the MP
corks......I said almost every time I used the MP. He said to stop
doing that! Cork grease will destroy the glue that holds the tenon cork
on the tenon...........

Anyone else believe that? Any comments?

Tom
