Hey Dean, I like that idea a lot better than my way. 1/8" drill and vet 1/8" OD long needle and syringe. I have a dose syringe that would let me power the glue in. Come to think of it one might even consider using liquid hide glue. Now looking for a piano to try it on <G> Come to think of it this could work on loose bridges from the back?
