Re: Tenon Cork Fixes

You are right about the shiny areas, but consider that the socket might not be perfectly round, so make sure you turn the tenon in the socket completely to make sure it doesn't get stuck in any position.

Did you use super-thick natural cork? Maybe you missed a part of my post above, or maybe it wasn't clear, so I'll explain again. It's not surprising it it starts wobbling if you use so thick cork. You need to use thinner cork but make sure it's thick enough oveall, for example by gluing a layer of rubber-cork like is described in my previous post.

How thick was the cork you glued?
