 Re: greasing other corks

When sanding corks, the sanding should be done gently and without compressing the cork as that will either remove too much or compress the cork and the adjustments won't last when the cork recovers.

The only instruments I use natural cork on are oboes and even then I only sand two of the main action key corks to regulate or set the venting on them (LH2 and RH2 fingerplates and the two trill keys). On all the other places where I use natural cork, I choose cork of the required thickness and don't sand them.

If you're coating tech cork with graphite, it can't be overdone or made a mess of as applying it by simply rubbing the surface with a soft pencil (2B or softer) to get even coverage is about as foolproof as it can get.

The opinions I express are my own.
