greasing other corks

Author: Philip Caron
Date: 2020-03-27 23:54

I grease my tenon corks lightly whenever I feel stiction during assembly. Is there any reason to (or not to) grease other corks, specifically the little bumper or spacer corks under keys or between things? The cork between the bridge parts does wear, and so does the one on the crows foot. Those things can either slowly change size or actually crumble a bit. Would an occasional bit of cork grease help maintain them?

I can't imagine greasing cork pads, but if anyone has any thoughts on doing that as well, then do share.
