Hi Barrie you wrote: > How strong is it will it take side pull of a Bridge pin on it > > I have got Birdcadge with a split bridge at the treble brake and the Key > bed is in the way. the piano is not worth the effort of re-capping so Actually, Newton has beat me to to the reply, and I agree with all he has to say. Let me add that I find CA glue a poor gap-filler unless you use some medium (wood flour or the like) to fill spaces you need to bridge (pun intended). I just finished a bass bridge cap that was cracking, but not enough to replace the cap. The filling method I outlined worked very well. My previous repairs have not come undone on other pianos, and I can say that this technique seems to work fine on bridges. Don't stick your fingers together... Regards, Rob Kiddell R.P.T., P.T.G.
