Re: Pad glue

Buffet use hot glue, but even so the glue can often come away from the inside of the pad cup.

Personally I can't stand hot glue as it's very sticky at relatively low temperatures and sticks to and burns skin. Shellac will solidify on contact with skin so is easier to remove without removing skin along with it.

The only instance I have to use hot glue is when installing Jim Schmidt pads (on saxes) as they have a plastic backing and shellac won't adhere to that. Otherwise it's shellac.
