 Re: greasing other corks

I only use grease only when the cork is new, Then maybe use it sparingly when the cork seems tight.

Cork absorbs water fast, it's the bark on trees, also called genus Phellodendron. That question will be on the final exam for your BA/PhD. You have to spell it backwards. Sure a joke! Maybe not?

Well cork acts the same, sooner or later there is a thing about too much grease and the cork CAN sometimes start to chip and also soften the contact cement dies so the corks becomes unusable and air leaks form.

The horn should fit tight between the joints, If not get it repaired. Things will happen and even squeaks and resistance. You might even get frustrated and sell the horn or worse give up the horn. Don't you anything except cork grease. No olive oil or chicken fat. Yes someone tried both.
