Superglue

[Susan Kline]

I haven't seen the little brush yet, but Loctite is my favorite brand of 
CA. Quiktite is their name for CA. I keep a small bottle of it in my kit at 
all times. It has a needle in the cap, which usually keeps the long thin 
spout fairly clear. I also keep a hatpin in my kit for when it doesn't.

I've used CA, a couple of successive applications, for oversized birdseyes. 
I have also seen, in the bottom of a piano, two wippens (no flanges) with 
center pins completely seized in the birdseyes. Quite a sight. (I DIDN'T DO 
IT!!) If I use the CA on birdseyes, I watch them like a hawk, and keep 
moving the center pin. So far it has worked.
