The Eric Brand repair manual is the bible for this stuff, although some of it is now obsolete. Hot glue is much easier to work with than stick shellac for pads, and contact cement for tenon and key corks. I started my repair "career" repadding a metal clarinet, so it IS possible to do.

Subject: [kl] Heavy Maintainance

I have a cheap clarinet that I want to play but it needs some heavy
maintenance to make it playable.

So my question is, where on the web or in libraries do I go to find
out about the nuts and bolts of re vamping re padding, re bending keys
and taking the dents out of a old beater. It's a metal clarinet that
been used occasionally as an offencive weapon.

I have the time and the inclination but no money and I am curious
about the arcane clarinet insider knowledge. So where do I look?

Thanks Brad
