There are other YouTube videos you can watch.

Use a sharp razor blade for best results. If the Contact Cement is too thick it's probably old. Spend $5 or less and get a new jar.

I also like to use a thick rubber band and wrap it around the cork for maybe 5 hours. Yes the Contact Cement is dry this just assures that the cork and the glue is completely dry as no air can often take longer for the glue to dry.

Lastly - use rubber gloves. The Contact Cement has some nasty chemicals on/in it and it is a pain to get it off of your fingers.

If the cork is old and brittle just wet it for a minute or 2 and let it dry for a few hours. Then cut it and glue it. It shouldn't crack once water hits the cork.
