This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi again Jerry, It has been my experience that a tipper will not work for this project = as the glue needs to be applied from the rear of the piano to get the = neatest finished repair. One thing that I omited, to get the G glue to = travel further into the seperated area use 2" masking tape to cover the = crevasse. This will somewhat direct the glue deeper between the two = parts. Tipping the piano will only minimally allow glue to travel with = gravity, as the glue will suspend between the two sides and stop its = flow due to surface tension. G glue is thicker than Tightbond but just a little swells up to 4 times = its liquid volume. Then hardens to a sort of plastic that has little = crawl.
