Drew,
"Woodwind-All" is a product available at many music stores, etc., that is supposed to be good for pads (leather only, I presume -- definitely not cork!) and bores of woodwind instruments.
I forget who told me about it (I think it was Bailey), but I've used it for quite some time on rods, etc. I've never specifically tried it around the octave vents, but I am tempted to.
The blurb on the back of the container (a small, 2-oz. aerosol can) reads,
"For the care of ALL wood winds [sic]. Keeps pads soft, prevents air leaks and sticking pads. Guards against cracking of wooden instruments. Dispenses condensation for minimum pad wetting. Regular use will improve tone and timbre and substantially increase pad life."
Sounds like it does everything but cure cancer.
