>> Evostick isn't bad either <<

No, it's pretty good still. Though if you could easily move/slide it to the side after completely drying then something sounds wrong. Maybe you put a layer that was too thick?

>> but why can't you stand the material? <<

Not only the they move or fall out often (as Chris mentioned, often with the glue still on the key itself), it is a spongy material, but very thick on some keys (e.g. trill keys) so the feel is terrible.

I'm not sure what you compared it with, but I also don't use real cork anywhere except tenon corks. I also almost stopped using a different type of synthetic cork that is much better than what Buffet is using (the Kraus black material). I'd rather use real cork than what Buffet uses... and I really don't like real cork for keys.

>> Clarnibass, have you already tried the 3M tape I mentioned once? <<

I don't think so, but a while ago I did contact 3M and got the "thinnest and strongest" double sided tape they had for some other purpose. For clarinets it was very noticeably worse than all options I use now.
