Re: Charles Neidich mouthpiece patch

Author: kdk ★2017

Back when I was cutting patches out of rubber work gloves (red inside, black outside, later yellow inside) I used rubber cement. It works like contact cement that most repair people use to mount tenon corks - apply to both surfaces and let it dry, but lets go easily when you need to remove it. And it rolls off places you don't want it by rubbing it with your thumb.

Gigliotti didn't use any adhesive on the patches he made (also from those rubber work gloves). He would just wet it and lay it down on the beak. But he used very little pressure on the top of the mouthpiece and the patches never seemed to slip or come loose.
