> According to the clarinet gods, stock cork grease does, in fact, damage

> mess all over it and it still has that "new" look to it - pale, light tan
> and dry and slightly springy to the touch. The stuff is very different
> than cork grease, so don't expect it to feel the same way. It lubes your

> mess in your case or in the socket of the joints and the cork does not
> feel greasy. I really like the stuff. It is slightly more expensive than
> grease, but not enough to break the bank, even remotely. My homemade cork
> grease has gone in the trash.
