I stumbled onto a way of handling cork I wish to share with other members.
I cut the cork in a strip about three times longer than needed . I apply contact cement a little more than needed, , then I use the strip to apply the cement to the part of the mechanism I intend to glue the cork too.
In other words, I use the cork as a spatula. After a few minutes, I put the cork in place using the extra length as a kind of handle which I cut off at the end of this process.
What do you think?
