I started using hot glue for synthetic pads, but now use it for all clarinet work (I still use shellac exclusively for saxophones).

I find that the hot glue gives me more precision in dispensing, and doesn't get as thin as shellac when you heat it, which provides more precision in seating, and much lower chance of oozing.

I always use cork on the register key (and 'dome' the back and vent the front), but only do complete upper joint cork on new clarinets with perfect toneholes.

Left to my own devices, I will use Valentino Masters (amber) on the upper joint and leather on the bottom.
