Re: Good cork grease?

I use Dr. Slick also, like a lot of other folks around here. I just like the way it feels (a lot like teflon), much slicker than the "regular" cork grease yet somehow less oily feeling. Smells better too. I ordered 5 tubes about 6 months ago, and have yet to come close to even using up one tube...

Also, my Buffet double case is the type that holds the clarinets with the bells attached. Regular cork grease seems to sometimes bind the bells (especially on my A clarinet) to the bottom joint, and Dr. Slick doesn't.

The best cork grease I ever used came in a tub of some sort...I don't remember the name. Too bad it's inconvenient to keep in a case, and I don't like the application method (as you have to dip your finger in the tub to apply).
