On a tangent topic about expanding cork that has collapsed, I use a burning match over the tenon corks now and them to expand them. Technique is to wet the cork first, usually just with my mouth, then rotate it over a burning match no more than to where the cork just starts to darken (toast).
I do the same thing for staple corks and manage to use them for many cycles over many years, although they burn dark quicker than tenon corks.
I'd never considered using WD-40 inside the oboe or a staple and will remain agnostic about that, but it does inspire the imagination.
The smell and taste alone would deter me from doing that...but it is an interesting idea.
I do use it on my bike chains, though.
THe hot water approach seems very valid to me for staple. I'd prolly not dip my oboe tenons into it though.
