Cleaning the cork depends a little on where it has been kept. Obviously a slightly stiff paintbrush to remove the dry dust and earthy deposits. Some bluetak may remove some further detritus. But it depends very much what there is covering the cork. I can only suggest experimenting carefully with a damp slightly stiff paintbrush to see if that softens any hard soil, but when you are down to either traces of resin or wax, or esle the plain cork obviously you stop, let it dry out and then seal that cork and lip with something like PVA don in several coats to preserve the cork and moisture within.www.earlyglass.com Facebook group: Earlyglass for sale & show
