I've heard to use dental floss, but there are others who are violently opposed to it. Also not sure if that's a 'quick fix'. My repairman said they can build up the joint with carbon fiber, and that would help. I'm not necessarily looking for a quick fix, actually the opposite: something that will finally relieve my tenon frustrations for a while! I'd rather spend that 5 minutes each week practicing than wrapping teflon.
I don't think the problem is the cork, but the shoulders. I've had super-thick cork installed in a wobbly joint, and it either still wobbles, or starts wobbling shortly thereafter. The sticking also usually happens once the joints are put together all the way, i.e. when wood is meeting wood. You can see this when you take a sticking joint appart, that usually some of the shoulder is shiny, indicating wood rubbing against wood, 'polishing' itself. I started sanding anywhere that's shiny, and that helps, but I'm worried that too much sanding will make it wobble. There's probably just a fine line I need to find in the middle that works in all seasons...
