World's Slipperiest Cork Grease
World's Slipperiest Cork Grease
This is the same stuff as Ultimax Cork Lubricant, which is the slipperiest cork lubricant known to humankind. Or dogkind.
What is Ultimax? It is cork- and adhesive-safe lubricant that will not break down cork (like cork grease made from petroleum — which is what most of the “chapstick tube” cork grease sticks are based on). It’s also safe for wood, ABS, and composite (e.g.: Greenline) and rubber. You’ll notice it doesn’t cake on, but rather absorbs into the cork, leaving a long-lasting glide.
Word to the wise: use only a TINY amount at first. You won’t need to glop it on like other cork grease.
Give it a try; for 5 bucks you really can’t go wrong.

A little goes a long way! Works great. If you must use more than necessary, keep a cloth handy to clean up your hands, your clarinet, your pants…
Indeed very slippery. Be ready to wipe off your finger after applying! I have a saxophone mouthpiece that fits rather tight and this product really makes moving it on the cork much easier. Of course I could sand down the cork a bit, but if you use multiple mouthpieces... This is a great product to have around.
This cork grease is so slippery that you won't need much to make your clarinet's joints slide easily. It leaves no greasy residue and seems to last forever. I am on only my second batch after a year's use.
GREAT cork grease is an understatement. I purchased several and shared with fellow bandmates. I/we shall be back for more.
Thank you.
the best lubricant for clarinet really!
