hammers separated from bottom of molding

[Garret Traylor]

I have used hot glue for a fast fix in the home.  This was a very junky
piano and the repair satisfied the customer.
Kindest Regards,
Garret

Does titebond work as well as white glue?

Hi Brian,

Since it is not really a piano anyway.

Apply white glue to the felt and CA glue to the molding. Clamp with your
fingers (careful CA is quite exothermic) (double careful it bonds skin
instantly). The moisture in the White glue will cause the CA to cure
instantly and will provide a better bond than CA by itself.
