Re: Strange tenon

Interesting, since R13 is the most common professional model here, and I think I replaced more tenon cork on this model than any other one model. I've never seen this "wavy" tenon groove before.

Not only the "two waves groove" a terrible idea, but it required especially thick cork, so I used a thin layer rubber cork, and glued natural cork over that (a method I learned from Gordon NZ). Using thick natural cork only is too soft and will compress too fast.

Chris, have you ever changed this "two waves groove" tenon? I didn't do that this time, but I thought of filling the spaces, possibly with super glue or epoxy glue mixed with wood dust. I'm wondering if the contact glue (I also use Evostik) will have any problem gluing to that mix (I'm pretty sure that's not a problem but would like to be sure before I try it). Although there are still the non-filled parts for the Evostik to glue to anyway.

Thanks.
