Well my first tenon repair wasn't great as I didn't sand the edges, had weaker tape and thus pushed it all the way down.
Think I did bevel the edges last time, but I'm not sure anymore. I was under the impression that after a few days of use, the cork "sets" and now being fully compressed becomes much thinner than initially thought. Or maybe I prefer a really strong connection. Next time I'll make sure to bevel the edges and see whether I can get a nice, seamless finish and a sufficient thickness.
Some techs, as already mentioned in this thread, seem to sand the cork down to the level of the sockets.
Take a look at this: https://www.oboe-blog.de/galerie/zapfenkorken/
It looks like the same cork that I use (and by "here", I mean here in Germany, where I couldn't get anything different, having bought several plates already) - of course, sanding it down this much will prevent it from sliding away, but doesn't make for a tight fit, IMHO. All I'd like to achieve to keep it as thick as possible
Anyways, thanks for your advice, I really appreciate you experienced techs sharing your knowledge!
