Re: Best glue for pads

Author: Kalashnikirby

There's a bit of a debate in Germany whether hmg is problematic for the Instrument's acoustics or not ("resonanzoptimierung")
I say that'd be complete bs and since Yamaha, Buffet and IRC Uebel use hmg, I don't see any reason not to do so.
Tough shellac is a perfecly fine material. I got some hmg from music medic and I really like its characteristics, as the melting point is perfect, it hardens quickly enough, but doesn't take too long and is easy to clean, should you have any excess. Has been keeping the pads in place for years now.

I know a really bad technican who doesn't heat the shellac enough, as a result, the shellac can get brittle and pads/ corks fall off rather easily.

Best regards
Christian
