Basically the instructions were these: Remove the action and place towels on the keybed. Using a fine tip, pour the red label (the water thin viscosity) CA glue in at the base until the pinblock won't accept any more. In other words, use a lot! He sells larger bottles designed for this purpose, I forget how many ounces they are. You use pretty much use all of the bottle on one pinblock. Oh yes--NEVER use accelerator when treating pinblocks because it will immediately harden and clog the capillaries of the wood keeping it from accepting any more glue. And then, tune... -Ben Ben Gac, RPT Ben's Piano Tuning (708) 660-9331 - office (630) 291-5654 - mobile Ben at BensPianoTuning.com www.BensPianoTuning.com ------Original Message------ From: Euphonious Thumpe To: ben at benspianotuning.com To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] CA glue vs. PinTite or Garfield's? Sent: Mar 24, 2009 12:14 PM All I know is that some of these contain(ed?) glycerine, which attracts moisture from the air, but also encourages decay, I believe. If that is the case any longer, I do not know. Please describe Dryburg's suggestions. I am curious to know whether his techniques differ from mine.
