 Re: Synthetic, self adhesive joint cork

There is a wide range of synthetic corks avialable now.

Some are awful - anywhere. Some are not bad. IMO for tenons, natural cork still surpasses all of them.

What is really substandard in these environments is the adhesive used for self-adhesive backing - for both tenons and keys.

Almost every tenon cork I replace is because self-adhesive backing - typically installed by the manufacturer - has failed.

On keywork, self-adhesive backing is a disaster. Over these very small areas it always retains enough "sliminess" to be at risk of peeling or sliding off the key. It certainly cannot be regarded as secure. By contrast, a decent contact adhesive, appropriately used, can be trusted for a decade if not several.
