Tech cork (aka rubber cork, aka gumi cork) is possible to sand but it's much slower. Yes it's preferable not to sand it really unless you have to.

However, two materials I use most are synthetic felt and rubber cork. The former is available at least in 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.2mm and 1.5mm and rubber cork is available in 0.1mm increments up to about 1.0mm and then also in pretty small steps (1.2mm, 1.5mm), though the 0.1mm inc of the thinnest sizes is not always so accurate.

I pretty much never adjust linkage by sanding (i.e. for keys that need to close together like E/B and F/C, or the bridge key). A few exceptions might some old saxophones models. For the above mentioned linkages on clarinets (and also for LH F/C, thumb ring key, etc.) I use the best thickness of material and then align (bend) the keys, which is IMO the most accurate method and what almost all factories do (except they often don't use the best material or thickness before doing that).
