Good tip! There's a 3M version of this called *exterior* mounting tape that's quite strong, as well as weather-resistant. That means it would also be condensation-resistant, which should be a good thing when it comes to horns. I use it to keep my Clebsch straps in place without soldering them. I'm sure it would also be just the thing for attaching mute corks. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
