Re: What kind of glue to use on Harmon cork?

After not that much use over the course of a couple of years, the cork

grumbling - for what they charge for the thing you'd think the glue
would last. I have a cheap aluminum one from high school that's still
on tight.

Anyway.

I removed the residue on the mute with Acetone, and am wondering
what's a good glue to put it back on.

Dear Doc, & list:

I've tried a few things. First was rubber cement. It worked for
about a week. Next came Elmer's spray on art adhesive, a gummy,
white, solvent-based sort of mastic. It works well enough but it
stays soft and the cork pieces keep coming loose. If i get tired of
always sticking the thing back together I may clean it all up and try
silicone RTV.

Life is a bitch and then you die. Good luck!
