good price for CA

[David Vanderhoofven]

Maggie,

I agree with William here.  I would be cautious about using more than 2 oz 
of CA on a piano, and probably never more than 4 oz of CA glue on one 
piano.  I had an unfortunate incident a few years ago... very old 4' 
something no-name grand, heavily rusted, AND... previously treated with 
some unknown pinblock treatment.  I used 4 oz of CA glue, and since it was 
out of town, wasn't able to get back for a few weeks.  Fast forward a few 
weeks, and during tuning I found the tuning pin torque excessively 
high.  The piano was almost untunable because the torque was so high.  AND, 
a tuning pin snapped off flush with the plate.  Joy!

Also, please be very careful sniffing those fumes from the CA glue.  If you 
have to choose between your health and patching together a marginal piano 
using CA glue as a bandaid, consider that you only get one set of lungs.

Sincerely,
David Vanderhoofven
