Re: Charles Neidich mouthpiece patch

In years past you couldn't easily buy mouthpiece patches- so players would cut a square out of a rubber kitchen glove OR use a patch from a bicycle tire repair kit. I don't know what other players used, but I used super glue- and had to scrape it off the mouthpiece beak when the pad finally needed changing. Never really caused any big problem, but then maybe don't pay too much attention to me, as I've also just used standard Rico/Selmer/Buffet cork grease for the last 40 years and this is apparently a no-no that will destroy my corks.
I remember asking Sabine Meyer about this, and she was like "I don't know where it came from, my husband made it" (regarding her mouthpiece patch).
