I used the very thin CA I'm thinking it probably flowed through the wood but it is possible there's a seperation, Wurlitzers are good for that. I think that's one of the reasons they switched from the felt to the 1/4" plywood on the tops. It's just possible the CA filled the opening if it's a small enough one. -- Michael Magness Magness Piano Service 608-786-4404 www.IFixPianos.com email mike at ifixpianos.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
