>> I think there are tenon cork glues that are more sensitive to vaseline (or other kinds of cork grease) than others. Not all impact glues are made alike, and (insert deity) only knows what has been used in those older specimen we occasionally see with failing corks. <<

I agree, but I see a certain % of clarinets with "spinners" or failing corks with vaseline and/or the cheap no-name grease in the case as opposed to the % of failed corks from those who use good cork grease. It's not a proof, but it's enough that I consider it statistically significant to recommend certain types of greases over others (or at least what not to use).

>> One thing about the "lipstick" vs "finger" application method... I think it's best to give the final smear with your finger even if you're using a grease stick. <<

I agree. Fingers smear it much better on the cork. Just smearing with the lipstick tube and assembling can have most of the grease removed. But most prefer the lipstick tube regardless. I think La Tromba is also available in a lipstick tube.
