Finding Materials
1.The first repair is to replace the tenon cork. It's a little difficult to measure because the original has deteriorated. Seems to be 1/32" plus , I think 3/64" would be a safe bet as it can be sanded to fit. There are a few choices on the web. I'll stick with natural cork rather than a hybrid composite.
2. What adhesive? The most popular seems to be contact cement. there is also Micro pad and cork cement, or stick shellac,the last being the most difficult to use. I wanted something non-toxic and ordered "The Ultimate" glue,a water based alternative, I'm not sure anyone has used it for this purpose, but I can't see why it would not work fine..
