Thanks to ChrisP for his useful tips, especially about ring heights. On my German/ Oehler clarinets I use skin pads only. Perhaps I should try other materials, more frequently used on Boehms. On the other hand I agree with Lelia concerning bending keys. My teacher does it sometimes (he has Wurlitzers with forged keys), but I don't feel comfortable with it and prefer to adjust pad heigth. I use shellac which I think is best for building up a bit if necessary.
A good "Polsteranleitung" (padding guide), though in German, but with nice pictures, you can find on Harald Hüyng's homepage: http://www.hueyng.de/index.php?id=24
