Once your clarinet is reassembled, leave the joint together for at least a few hours to let the cork compress and adhere properly. Play the fully assembled clarinet or blow some air through the joint to check for any leaks. When you are ready to put it away, disassemble it carefully. Enjoy your new cork!
