I just started using shellac for pads. It seemed easier than glue. I'll probably continue to use hot glue for student horns, on account of marching and temperature changes, but I find it a pain.
I use rubber cement for corks, but I also find it a pain. It's always drying out in the container, and you have to wait so long for it to dry before sticking the parts together. Chris wisely suggested "Barge" which doesn't dry out in the tube. It lasts forever. I also works pretty well, but it's so stringy it's impossible to set the pieces down. I have to stick them on my spring poker or something.
Ferrees' quick dry stuff works fast, but dries out in the container. I like DAP Weldwood a lot, but it dries out - although not nearly as fast as Ferrees. Elmer's didn't really work. I really wish I could find an alternative because I can't manage the stuff without getting it on my hands and with a compromised nervous system it's a bad idea. I suppose you could try hot glue, but most corks probably don't have enough surface area to stay put.
I've thought about shellac for corks. I suspect that some of the shellaced pads and corks that fall off weren't prepped well. Cemented corks also fall off.
