Subj: Re: [kl] shurnken tenon corks
Date: Sat, 07 Feb 2009 09:46:36 -0500

I fully agree with other posters :30 years ago, I got tired of having to
grease these corks
every next day, and I gave a try to teflon tape. I never went back, neither
did I ever use
grease since. When I bought a set of new Buffet instruments last year, the
first thing
I did was to wrap the corks (they were clean and dry) with some teflon film,
and put the
grease stick in a drawer. Never had any sort of sticky or wobbling tenon
problem for decades...

Regards.
Christophe.
