 Re: How often do you use cork grease?

I think that by simply applying a practical, common sense approach to using cork grease, that most people will be tending to get this right. You want the joint to assemble-disassemble smoothly, but not be so slick that the instrument sheds sections in mid air like a space rocket taking off ( best avoid the rocket science element. Lol). A tighter joint will require more frequent applications, but not too lavish, as this surplus grease will just get scraped off making a mess. If you realize you've applied too much grease to a tenon, just transfer it to another with your finger, or wipe it off with a cloth. Less self evident is the matter of the quality of a cork grease, which, as touched upon above, is something definitely worthy of consideration. Good ones just work better, last longer and attack the glue bond less ( probably largely because you don't seem to have to use so much of the stuff, so paying that bit extra is better economy on all levels I would say.).
