Thanks. I was hoping to make sense for the people that need an Intro before getting into the basics of pad installation. Critical to know before even trying. Raising sax toneholes and levels clarinet toneholes will get covered though I'm not sure how detailed during the first repadding. If not, then in detail at some point later on as it's a topic all on it's own.
You must have not been listening. At 3:19 I state that you want the pad to fall flat on the tonehole. going through at about 4:25 I mention pads to be flat, many new repair ppl who do not get the pad to fall flat will resort to using key clamps to get it to seal. I mention the problem key clamps again if the pads are not installed properly. I also mention the pads at the 8:00 mark, and 13:45 mark being flat to the tonehole (so one does not use clamps). Thanks for the input.
Also the depth of the pad (how much adhesive is used) in the keycup has more to it than the thickness of the pad itself. I used to stock various pad thicknesses but then just stuck to specific sizes for sax and clarinet. You'll get into issues on cheaper instruments that have vary shallow keycup walls though .. which I tended to avoid. Thanks
Thanks💖✊
Excellent explanation on the basics and I'm sure at some point you will touch on dealing with uneven tone holes.

Force it down with clamp?
To me it seems more likely that you have the wrong thickness pads.
