Yes, I forgot to mention, the cork needs to be compacted by putting it on a flat hard surface and hitting it with a hammer to compact the cork. This will stop it from cracking when you bend it around the crook.
Use the same technique to re-cork a tenon joint. Scrap the old cork off and clean the tenon with acetone. Use a piece of cork of the right thickness. Cut it to the right proportions. Chamfer the end and stick using contact adhesive. I will do a similar video soon for tenons.

Do you need to soften the new cork first to keep it from breaking? If so, how?

The cork is falling off and I don't have two weeks to wait for a repair man

David Nissen thank you
The same principle applies. It is necessary to cut a bevel on the cork.
