Glues,powders,softeners,etc

[Alan]

PVC-E (felt to wood or metal, plastic key tops, various other uses)
Titebond or Elmer's Carpenter Glue (wood to wood--strong &
permanent--including broken shanks, works best with clamping)
Hot hide glue (key felts & hammers, shanks, etc., especially in better
pianos being repaired or restored. Cold hide glue for field repairs)
Superglue, i.e., CA (extra super thin for pin blocks, also for bridge pins
and eyelash cracks, some people use thick CA for key tops, especially in the
field. I don't, I use PVC-E) HAVE ACETONE OR CA REMOVER AND RAGS WITHIN
REACH. DAMHIK
Thin Epoxy (more serious bridge repairs)
Thick Epoxy (I like JBWeld fast setting, it's fabulous and fast. The only
drawback is that it dries to a dark grey or black color, so you don't want
it to show. Various repairs, including metal to metal)

There are other uses and other glues, and people have different preferences,
of course, but this is my kit.

What do you consider to be the best beginners arsenal of Glues, 
Powders, Hardeners, Softeners, etc for a new tech?

I am repairing and will soon begin trying my hand at voicing.

Thank you in advance
