Tenon cork repair

To all those with experience in cork replacement...

With a household of various woodwind instruments and a host of students playing others, I find I need to replace tenon corks fairly regularly (and it seems our hot climate does not help matters). While I have the technique fairly well down pat (they certainly don't fall off in a hurry, so I must be doing something right!) I would like opinions as to the best adhesive to use. I have been using the Micro Pad and Cork cement as that's all I could find locally, and while it adheres well, it takes forever to dry (which when you use your instrument daily is not really helpful!) even if I allow it to 'go off' before I stick it on. It is also very messy, but I'm sure I won't be able to eliminate that problem all together!

Also, any other techniques for efficient tenon cork replacement are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Rachel
