Yes,the cheapest one.Dark and balsamic type will leave dark stain spots.Try
it on a junky part to prove to yourself that it woyks. Good luck! Isaac

Hi,Brian! To reglue loose hammer heads just apply some vinegar on the glue
joint and 12 minutes later it will re-juvenate the glue and will be hard
again.This trick I had learned long time ago from late Bob Russell and
shared it in many of my classes and it made it to the Journal,also.It
works!!! Also,to remove hammers or to loosen weak glue joint-use vinegar and
4 minutes later it easely comes apart.Works on loose-sqaky chairs and
antique furniture.Also,you can do it in the piano without removing the
action and taking it to your shop... Good Luck!! Isaac

Hello List,

 

My situation is this.  A customer of mine has a Wurlitzer spinet with 54
loose hammer heads that click when they are played.  I was unable to remove
the heads while the action was in the piano.  The glue is loose, but not
loose enough to be able to pop them off.

 

I am planning to remove the action, take it back with me and remove and
reglue the hammers.  

 

What chemical is recommended to soften the glue enough to remove the heads?

 

Thank you very much.
