Yuk, you should never use any thing to "clog" the pores. I'll never forget when someone asked Stanley Hasty at a master class if they should use news paper to seal the pores with the news ink and he jumped all over it, never use any thing to clog the pores he said. You don't need to put stuff into the pores to close them, using the back of sand paper or on a clean piece of white paper works just fine. I never bother sealing the pores on the vamp portion of the reed because I don't think it did any good for my reeds though I know some players do that. What I could never understand is why some players take the time to seal the pores so the reed won't absorb too much water and then they let the reed sit in a glass of water for several minutes, or longer, so the reed will absorb water and get water soaked. If you're interested I have an article on that subject on my website in my reed page. Give it a look see if you're interested. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
