should I use cork grease?

Author: clarinetgiggirl

Dspite repeated greasing of the corks on my brand new Leblanc 'C' it became increasingly difficult to separate the two main joints. My repairer said that this was due to 'settling in', altered the size of the joints and advised me not to use cork grease in future, but to use petrolium jelly (Vaseline) instead. I had no further problems with this clarinet.

However, I am now experiencing the same problem with my older (c1985) Bb Buffet clarinet. I have tried using both cork grease and Vaseline, but the problem persists and seems to be getting worse.

Does anyone know what is causing this problem? Is it something I am doing wrong? Should I use cork grease or Vaseline?
