Evostick isn't bad either, but for now I won't bother finding a better contact glue.
Chris, I think the workflow with contact glue should be smoother for a pro like you.
After some practice, I've learned to apply the correct amount of hot glue as the excess is indeed annoying to trim away, even with a fresh scalpel blade. Heating pads is no issue with a reflow station (I set the temp to 300°C max and use a ~1cm diamater nozzle) For the very smallest corks, I see no way to apply them without the contact glue drying prematurely.
I'm still in the process of figuring out why here in Germany, many people sneer at hot glue users, with the implication of this material being un-clarinet....ish, so glad to hear pros would use it too!
Same with other silencing materials than cork, especially rubco seems intriguing. I was actually impressed by the "synthetic cork" on my Buffet RC. Chris, where could one buy smaller sheets of this?
Clarnibass, have you already tried the 3M tape I mentioned once?
