Fred: This will give you a basic starting point http://www.shopforband.com/clarinet_pad_installation.shtml
It is somewhat over simplified, but it is a starting point. I use a drop of hot glue. What takes practice there is getting enough to slightly float the pad, but not so much that it squeezes out the edges. Use a pin to poke a small vent hole in the edge of bladder pads. A tongue depressor can be used as a makeshift pad slick (used to level pads to the tone hole). I also use a triangle of cigarette paper held in locking forceps as a feeler gauge to measure that the pad has equal pressure on the tone hole all the way around. Letting key pressure level a pad to its hole is only good enough for emergency repairs. I have done an emergency pad replacement for a friend during the intermission of a concert. I took the key off to clean the cup. Then I put it back on the instrument (normally closed pad) with a chip of hot glue and a new pad stacked under it. I heated the pad cup with a cigarette lighter until the glue melted and the cup settled around the pad. It worked just fine for the rest of the concert.
Good luck and have fun. There are lots of reference books you might want to read as well, as you are able.
