 Getting cork pads to seat and seal better?
Author: StevenWayne 
Date:   2017-10-01 21:37

This is on the upper joint of an old R. Malerne wooden Standard. Tone holes look good, and I've worked at getting the pads level and seated properly against the tone holes, but it will not pass a suction test.

The lower joint was repadded with beautiful kangaroo pads, and they floated in and sealed perfectly, but I did not have those to fit the upper joint, so I tried the cork on that joint. Any tips to getting the cork to seal better? Or should I bite the bullet and order the kangaroo pads? Someone here told me that leather pads were more forgiving.

Thanks for input. I appreciate the advice I get here. Learning a lot.
