How would that increase pressure, enough to damage the block? You would naturally use a reamer compatible with the size pin, you intend to put in John M.

Using same-size replacement pins and pre-treating the holes with CA might fill in some existing cracks and make the block stronger. Would you swab the holes first and let it dry before driving in (or dropping in!) the pins, or do it in one go? Just guessing, here... --Cy-- ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Gamble To: John Ross ; pianotech@ptg.org Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 5:36 PM Subject: Re: re-stringing and CA Hello John and List The old pins are grotty, rusted and deformed and would not be worth preserving and re-bluing. Apart from which the old pins will have their scoring (the end part of the pin which is in the plank) filled with old wood particles and rust. The new pins will be chromed and indeed .. new. The object is to find out what your collective reaction is to CA-ing in new pins. Regards Michael G.(UK) ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
