[pianotech] Trim & Moulding Glue

[David Love]

I've found that you can pop them off dry and cold with the proper tool but
once in awhile you get part of the shank coming with it or the force
required crushes the tip of the shank slightly.  Now if yours are coming off
that easily maybe that hide glue isn't forming quite as secure a bond as it
should <G>.

It hasn't been mentioned at all yet that I'm aware of, but has anyone found
a glued on hammer that they couldn't pop off the shank dry and cold with an
appropriate tool? I've never had to resort to either heat or water to get a
hammer off a shank, but I might have just been lucky - or sheltered. There
are glues I haven't come up against yet, but Titebond, hot hide, Trim and
molding, a few glues I couldn't identify, and the mystery white glue with
the giant collars used in Yamahas will all pop off mechanically without
heat.

Just wondering.
