Hi Paul,
CA glue is the way to go.
Mind you, evenness of power and tone, will be really uneven.
The real fix is a set of new hammers.
If you go the glue way, run some CA glue, on all of them at the back. =
Others are sure to be near to coming loose.
It was the dampness and poor glue that caused the problem.

  I have been asked to reglue hammerheads that have come loose from the =
molding (not the shanks) because of heat in a fire.  I would like to =
know the best kind of glue to use if not hide glue and best way to clamp =
them.  Any other information that may be helpful would be appreciated.  =
The piano is about 30 years old and there does not appear to be any =
other problems except rust formation on the pins and strings.  I realize =
that some of the other hammers may become loose in the future and have =
warned the client.

  Thanks,
