[pianotech] Second dose of CA?

I don't turn over pianos. I did once tilt a terminal old upright from 
East Germany so I
could treat its many loose pins with CA, but I later found out I didn't 
have to. The
water-thin CA wicks so well that it can be added to upright pins without 
tilting. I
just hold a shop towel underneath the pin so none of it drips down.
