Why can't I just use cork grease like the BufOyal people? \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, you can, but it gets sticky pretty quickly (and makes a mess when you reinsert the slide). How about instead you use this stuff we've got here. It's made for flute head joints, which are basically the same metal-on-metal as your bass clarinet. And it leaves no residue. Because while bass clarinetists might tolerate residue, Flautists. Definitely. Do.
