Does CA remove with steam? I thought we were to use hot hide glue for these situations. Any thoughts? A subject somewhat related to squeaky wippens. I have noticed that some newer Baldwin 243's really squeak at the damper return springs. On some, the cure seems to be a slight rebending of the springs, because the squeak originates at the point of friction between the spring and the wood. I have found that applying CPL here helps for a while, but slight spring bending is the more permanent cure. Fred Scoles, RPT
