One other trick to temporarily smooth out a mouthpiece rim is to coat it with chapstick, blistex, or your favorite lip balm. This is certainly no long term solution, but is a quick fix that I have used. I've found that lip balm works better than pertoleum jelly (Vaseline) as it has more wax in it ... less slippery!

One warning - the coating of lip balm does change the symbiosis between your chops and the mouthpiece, sometimes for the better! Get used to the feeling before going for that big audition!

Best of skill (and a bit of luck) at All States!
