Those fumes are something, though. I wish I had a small fan to blow the pin block fumes in the other direction, preferably out an open window. I picture geese falling out of the sky when they encounter this little cloud of CA vapor. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jason Kanter . piano tuning regulation repair jkanter@rollingball.com <mailto:jkanter@rollingball.com> . cell 425 830 1561 serving the eastside and the san juans -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Mark Dierauf Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 7:11 AM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Re: CA'ing pins I try as much as possible to saturate the wood around the pins with CA. This is of course easier where there are no tuning pin bushings. Basically, I squeeze until the CA starts to pool up at the base of the pin, then stop for a second while the glue soaks in, then repeat. I generally use about one 2 oz. bottle to do all the pins, then wait 24 hours before tuning, although in a pinch you can probably tune as soon as you're finished soaking. Make sure that you use fresh glue, especially if you'll need to tune the same day as you treat. - Mark -----Original Message----- From: Hechler Family [mailto:dahechler@charter.net] Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 1:36 AM To: pianotech Subject: CA'ing pins I have a customer that has an old upright piano that all of the pins need CA'ing. How many drops for each pin ? How long should I wait before PR & tuning ?
