Re: Repadding salt cellar keys

Thanks, Clarnibass!

I appreciate your opinion about "doesn't have to be one or the other" - after reading so many posts about the various glues for pads, I was beginning to feel that I was "doing it wrong."

However, knowing so many techs do still use shellac helps me to realize that there isn't necessarily something all-around "better" out there. So, for pads, I'll probably continue using shellac - because that's what I'm used to and it works very well for me.

Due to the advice received in this thread, I might try other glues (mainly contact adhesive) for key corks and tenons. I've tried contact adhesives before and wasn't too pleased with the results, but I always used a specific brand of adhesive - perhaps I'll try a few different brands and see if there's one that works better.

Thanks again,
Fuzzy
