Original message From: Don Valley To: Received: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 16:11:05 -0400 Subject: RE: CA Glue I am very certain it was the chemical reaction from the CA glue,= not the cloth and felt. Those same bolts of material were used on many other= pianos with standard glue methods with no problem. In fact the same material was used= in re-doing the plate trim and it still is in fine shape eight years later, so it= is not affected felt. I also use CA glue for occasional looseness in bridge pins with= no problem. Perhaps it reacted with some chemical in the felt cloth manufacture. = Speculation.

I have used CA glue to secure= loose bridge pins sometimes applying the CA directly to the pins= without removing the wire. I have never noticed any tendency= toward corrosion in these areas. I have also tacked understring= felt with CA at times (though not the thin understring cloth)= and not noticed any problems either.

Perhaps you know this, but avoid using CA glue for gluing plate felt & cloth. I tried= doing this with CA glue when I did not want to wait for the drying time needed by other glues I= normally use. Much to my dismay in several weeks I had to completely restring the piano because= the chemical reaction had severly rusted the strings where they contacted the felt and= cloth. Not a good way to learn. Thought this might be of some interest. I learned sometimes the= quick fix is not always the best fix.
