I can't possibly improve on the expertise of Chris.
I was working with a youth concert band today and was asked to fix a pad that had fallen out. Luckily I had my repair box with me and was able to use shellac to stick it back in. It was a low Bb vent so I put an elastic band around the key as it does not bond instantly then turned the bottom joint slightly to the side as no low Bb's were needed in the music played.
Other tips are , always carry a bit of blue tack for a very temporary repair., good on Sax Pads! I used it once on a gig. Also a piece of thin paper can be used once again as a temporary repair for loose clarinet/oboe joints and to hold sax mouthpieces on until you can get a proper repair done.
For loose cork joints, try a lighted match around the cork which will make it expand.
ALWAYS CARRY AN ELASTIC BAND if a spring breaks!!
