A. VERY You must use a glue that will allow you to “seat” the pads. If you use contact cement, airplane glue, Elmer’s, or any other glue, you will make your project much more difficult. We recommend using the pad cement that we sell. It will allow you to apply a small amount of heat from a match or a lighter to the back of the pad cup to soften the glue and “seat” any pads that are not completely covering the tone holes on your instrument. You can buy the proper glue from our web site at the pad cement page.
