Yes. Cork grease is usually made from the same ingredients as vasiline or chapstick. All three can be used as slide grease on brass instruments on tuning slides. Do not use it on valves or trombone slides though.
Yes but you can get a new one or use dental floss trust me I play the clarinet too and my cork has ripped before
Cork grease. :)
Cork grease is a substance that "greases" the corks on any woodwind instrument. This makes it much easier to put together. If corks do not get greased enough, they will tear and fall off. If cork grease is not available Vaseline can be used but must be wiped off before storing your instrument. Vaseline penetrates cork, occasionally loosening the glue. Therefore adding small amounts of hard waxes such as carnuba , beeswax etc., over very gentle heat, can make wonderful cork grease with custom tailored consistency.
To keep your clarinet in good shape, you will need to purchase a few things. You will need cork grease, a cleaner that goes through the clarinet(so it gets all the saliva), a thumb rest(its rubbery and usually black) for your thumb so it doesnt go numb and a reed gaurd(so it keeps your reed in shape).

sorry i can't be more helpful, but i think cork grease is your only option.

You will need recorder grease for a wooden recorder, and recorder cream for a resin/plastic recorder. On either one, use your finger to smear the grease on the joints of the recorder. On a wooden recorder, the joint will be made of cork or string.
Use some Chapstick. I preferably use Palmer's and it soothes the burning. :)
Use chapstick
A cherry chapstick that contains a UV sunscreen filter is recommended for use in the sun.The ordinary cherry chapsticks will not offer any protection.
Using ten year old chapstick is fine but it is probably useless and the oils would have dried up.
Exactly 12 billion and nine.
