ca glue

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Patrich,
You reminded me, the pins that did not hold were 0 torque. The piano was one
of my first treatments. Now usually I will treat the piano and mop up the
excess with paper towel. This usually takes long enough for the glue to set
enough to tune.
Then a pitch raise is done ignoring any pin that still does not hold
followed by a second treatment of the still loose pins. At this point I will
use a drop of activator on the end of a pincil to activate the glue at the
exact spot needed then fine tune.
Blocks that are slightly loose one trip through.
Very loose twice through watching that the glue travels arround the pin hole
to the far side with NO activator.
Mop and tune and retreat as necessary.
