another CA question

[Maggie Jusiel]

OK...  I'm back to experimenting...  (I have access to lots of junked
pianos that have been "trashed" but can't be disposed of easily because of
state policies affecting our local college.)

I had success with CA gluing an upright pinblock without putting it on
it's back.  It actually worked.  I used Q-tips to catch any drips, which I
was pretty good at avoiding.  I used Stew-Mac pipettes to apply the glue,
because the small tip could fit into the gaps between the pins and the
wood, and because if it looked like I might drip, I could suck the glue
back in.  Once the wood soaked up as much as it could, the glue "puddled"
in the gaps without dripping.

I don't know if I want to try this on a good piano, and may never, but
it's interesting...  Any thoughts?
