Some of you may be having trouble applying just the right amount of cork grease.

Here's a video to help you apply it best!

Generally, when I've tried to apply cork grease in the past, I apply the cork grease, put my mouthpiece on right away and start playing. This, however, is not the best way to apply cork grease.

The BEST way to apply cork grease is to actually apply it right after you're done practicing, and let it sit overnight so that the cork grease can soak into the cork.

So, I highly recommend trying out this strategy for greasing your cork best. Now, if you need some cork grease or forgot cork grease altogether, go ahead and check it out with the link below. This all helps to support the website, thanks!
