"Can you clarify? It sounds like you are saying the cork peels or pushes off when you first try to assemble? That is the glue failing, unless the cork is too thick by an extreme amount."
If I don't bevel the edges, yes, that happens. But since the cork doesn't rotate at all when putting the joints together, I don't see any reason not to use my tape. Try for yourself. But contact glue might have superior adhesion, I just prefer residiue-free tape.
The cork quality that we get here is still good, I suppose. Unlike what manufactures install, it doesn't have to be greased every day and still goes very smoothly - I imagine it's more fine pored, while also softer. I'd therefore like to sand down as little as possible. So far it's lasting quite well on my main instrument.
It seems that acetone will leave stains on the instruments, or at least decolourise stained wood, while isopropyl alcohol is safer to use (I clean whole bodies with that if they're too filthy).
