I have been using lanolin on my corks and they've been falling apart like crazy. Coincidence or cause-and-effect? I don't know. But I could imagine that there may be bacteria and/or fungi that are deterred by petroleum-derived oils but feast on a lanolin-cork combination. But it's just speculation. It may also be that my instruments, shut up in a safe with a trial instrument that reeked of contact cement solvent, may have had the cement holding the corks on fall apart due to this solvent exposure. Or, maybe it was just time for my corks to fall apart.
