Hi guys
Where can i buy the above kit. My neck cork is wearing down and some key cushions (some are round and some are rectangular in shape) have dropped off. Would be great if there’s a comprehensive kit which i can fix the problems.

you can find lots of cork on line , various thicknesses same thing for what you cal key cushions ( which I suppose are also corks ), they can be cut or punched into shape.

Even if the key cushions are mad of felt.

Music medic sells kits but on ebay you can also find all the stuff you need.

Good vids on You Tube on installing neck corks. Use 'Goof-Off' or similar product to loosen the contact cement which should be the glue under the cork. Start at the back edge and using the solvent as you go, work the cork off the neck - in pieces if you have to - never use sharp or scratching instruments to remove the cork. Finish cleaning up the neck with the solvent. You will have an indication on your old cork of where the mouthpiece usually sits - the cork doesn't need to be longer than that by more than 1/4".

I've never needed a cushion for a keg, they usually just sit comfortably there in the ice.

I've never needed a cushion for a keg, they usually just sit comfortably there in the ice.

But you gotta cushion the sides of the keg from the ice! Hence the need for a keg cushion kit. Probably easy to find on ebay...

And raymond, no doubt you can find them in Singapore; I was there several years ago and the island was surrounded with container ships with products from all over the world. Also, the BEST food (by far) in the world in those food courts and restaurants on the beach.

p.s. Never mind us, we're just having some fun here.
