 Do-It-Yourself Repads

Probably alot of us on the bb have one or more clarinets around the house in need of a repad. Problem is . . . the clarinet is probably not worth the cost of a professional repad (even arguably after the work is done!)

I was wondering if there was consensus on what type (material) of pads would be the easiest for a novice (with decent equipment from Ferees) to install successfully. I've heard that leather pads are more forgiving than some. There was also a thread a while back on Valentino pads which seemed to indicate that they sealed well if you could get them set right. Comments on adhesives would also be appreciated.

There's a Bundy, a Vito, a sad-looking Silva Bet, and a metal Albert all wondering when they will play again. I'm hoping to give them an answer soon. As you can see, these are not pro horns, so ease of application and longevity will probably win out over purist "slightly better" options. Any thoughts?
