CA Glue for pin blocks

[Ed Sutton]

Paul-

It is a lot of refilling, but I like the control, and I go with the "few drops at a time" philosophy.
I should add that I mostly use this for a few loose pins. It's been a while since I've done a whole piano.
If you have a co-operative pharmacist, you can probably find a needle that will fit on the tip of your glue bottle.
Or you may want to try larger syringes.

  Ed, 

  1/2cc is equivalent to approx 1/60 oz.  That seems like a LOT of refilling!?!?  At approx 1.5 oz per piano, that's 90 refills. (I think.)

  On the few pinblocks I've treated I have just used the long drip tip on the bottle. I need something a bit more precise, but I'd prefer not to spend a lot of time and motion in refilling, not to mention it seems that would increase the risk of spilling an open container!

    I'm too lazy to take a photo, but here's a link: https://www4.vaxserve.com/index.cfm?event=getProductDetail&product_id=2518&cat_id=43

    The ones I use are half size (1/2cc Tuberculin Syringe with 1/2" needle). The half-size syringe barrel is about the diameter of a soda straw and fits easily between tuning pins.

    Pharmacists may call small tuberculin syringes "insulin syringes."

    Rinsing with CA solvent may get some extra uses, but at 15 cents each I can toss them easily when they clog.
    North Carolina allows over the counter syringe purchases.

      Hi Ed,

      Could you post a photo of the tuberculin syringe?
