But, to be clear, this is a temporary fix. I carry a roll of Teflon tape in my clarinet case and it has saved me on a couple of occasions. But it has drawbacks - the biggest, I find, is that it tends to move - bunch up toward the shoulder of the tenon - and needs to be re-wrapped fairly often. Cork is still the best long-term option.
It should go without saying that you need to clean the tenon wood thoroughly before you cement a cork to it.
