Well, for one, we have developed a glue for gluing hammers only which=20
is just like the Yamaha hammer glue.
It is a white, expanding, glue, does not drip and thus forms a nice=20
collar or ring around the shank.
We just improved it and found the perfect formula, meaning that it is=20
perfect. It gets stone hard and forms a very tight connection between=20
the hammer head and the shank. The fact that it expands means that the=20=

drilling can be wide. This gives you ample time to position the=20
hammers.

Powders : I use only pure teflon powder.

Hardener : I only use colodion.

Softener : never use it. We usually don't soften hammers with chemicals=20=

but with needling.
