Re: Pros and Cons of Using Hot Glue to Repad a Clarinet

I just finished re-padding using hot glue. This type I use ,you can buy at most instrument stores that sell the pad kits. It comes as a large rectangular,clear,bar, that you chip pieces from. I heat the cup up with a heavy duty soldering iron. The type with a screw in element & tip combo,Ungar #776,45 watt. It's easy to remove this type of hot glue from the cups by using any small screw drive to scrape it out. It usually scrapes clean. There is tendency for this hot glue to be stringy. You must work quickly to seat the pad, as it cools quickly. If the glue runs over and out the cup when you seat the pad, it will clean off the outside of the cup just as easily.
