Re: greasing other corks

I prefer to have even thicknesses of materials than having to sand anything. I do use a natural cork stopper on the throat A key and trim and sand that, but that is the exception.

On Buffets the geometry and relationship of the RH F/C key is often dreadful and using thick silencing materials on the linkage only ends up making the action of the LH F/C key feel stodgy. Getting the linkage to sit parallel with a gap of around 0.5mm can be done, but it takes some doing and careful bending to achieve that. Then the action can be made nice and snappy instead of having too much travel and spongy.
