loose wood joints

[Marc Lanthier (Piano Lanco)]

Vinegar (acetic acid) breaks the chemical bonds in the animal glues
(protein). I think that it would weaken the joint.

Hello,

 

Did I read somewhere that vinegar can be used to tighten up wood
joints..like the ones in old piano benches?

 

Would anyone be able to confirm or deny this..and if not..what can be done
to tighten the loose joints of an old bench?

 

Thank you
