Rub some cooking oil into it. Not much just a little. That should take care of the problem. Make sure to wipe it off good to when you finish applying it. If it is to far gone then just replace it they are not very expensive at all. And it is not real hard to do either. Ron

hey, a lot of our band instruments have cork. We use cork grease on them to keep the cork from dry rotting. Comes in a tube the size of lip gloss. Cost $0.50 at any music store.
