List: Just for the record. Don't use the PVC glue found in hardware stores and which is used to fasten together PVC pipes. Repeat: DON'T. The glue youCAN buy in hardware stores is WELDBOND, a Candian product, which has many fine uses, including glueing on key ivory or the modern version thereof. We also use it in the repair of disintegrating school violins, cellos, etc in place of ground hide glue. You can also use it in actions where you would use TITEBOND, but we prefer the latter. Weldbond is also very handy for glueing dissimilar materials together; we tend to favor it for damper felt to damper head. It comes in various size squeeze bottles. If the 1st hardware store you try doesn't have it, try a couple more. You'll be glad and your gratitude will build up my karma. tunerjim@juno.com
