 Re: How often do you "grease?"

Grease with a top quality grease (e.g. Doctor's Product) EVERY time you assemble joints but only use a minute amount.
I prefer the tubs to the tubes as it makes the user put it on with the finger - as one should - and rub well in. Lipstick tubes get put on like lipstick aand then 90% or more gets scraped off as the socket is put over the tenon.

I've been doing this for 60 years and I get from 15 to 25 years out of all my tenon corks treated this way.

25 years of repair experience has taught me that the vast majority of teachers and players have no real idea of how to look after their corks (and sadly much else about their instruments).
