Hi, I had a talk with a model airplane builder today. They frequently screw the wings on and off their tiny models. The great problem in the past was the screws would eventually strip. So now the screw hole is treated with very thin CA glue. The holes wear like *iron*. After some thought, I wonder if anyone has tried to *stabilize* balance rail holes by putting a drop of CA glue on the (sometimes soft) wood? It might be a way to significantly extend the life of a key not to mention stabilizing the size of the hole to avoid humidity effects. Regards, Don Rose, B.Mus., A.M.U.S., A.MUS., R.M.T., R.P.T.
