Hetman Cork Lubricant #19

Hetman Cork Lubricant #19 is a specific product designed to lubricate and condition cork components found on musical instruments. Cork is commonly used on instruments such as clarinets, saxophones, and oboes for key mechanisms, tenons, and other areas where a tight seal is required.

Hetman Cork Lubricant #19 is formulated to prevent dryness and cracking of the cork material, ensuring its longevity and maintaining a smooth operation. It helps reduce friction between the cork and other surfaces, allowing for easier assembly and disassembly of instrument parts.

To use Hetman Cork Lubricant #19, you would typically apply a small amount of the lubricant directly onto the cork surface using the included applicator or a clean cloth. It is important to apply the lubricant sparingly, as using too much can cause the cork to become overly slick or deteriorate over time.

Regular application of cork lubricant can help extend the lifespan of cork components and maintain their functionality. It is especially beneficial in dry climates or when the instrument is exposed to frequent temperature changes, which can cause cork to dry out more quickly.

When using any specific lubricant or conditioner for your musical instrument, it is always advisable to consult the manufacturer's instructions or seek guidance from a qualified instrument technician to ensure proper usage and compatibility with your instrument.
