Re: The best way to replace tenon corks?

Hi clarnibass,

In my previous post I wrote " I have 1/16 and 3/32 corks. Should I use the 1/16 and shave it down?"

"What do you mean? If you use 3/32" you'd need to save/sand even more."

I meant to say 3/64, not 3/32.

Do I need a special cork cement or can I use something from Lowes or HD?

To attach key corks I have been using glue that is used to attach gaskets inside clothes dryer. It is heat resistant but rather strong,
It may be difficult to remove it from wood so I want to use something that can be removed from the tenon (if needed) in the future, without scraping the wood too much

Again, thanks a lot.
