I've had several people say PVCE is good for hanging hammers....  WHY not?
Now the rage seems to be trim and mold glue....

  Thanks for the public service announcement.

 Yes, yes the Evil Glue indeed. We should collectively write up a piano glue
policy handbook.
  My two favorite Do not use statements are.
1. Do not use, Epoxy to glue in a sound board. The only way to clean the rim
is with a 1 1/8 inch Makita hand held belt sand or pneumatic gringing device
of some kind. I actually know who did it. He still breathes. :) and No, it
wasn't me.
 Please use....Cold hide or hot hide glue. Tight bonds which are aliphatic
resins of various iterations(see Franklins data sheets), Bolducs PVA mystery
glue or many wood working PVA's (Read data sheets)
2 . Do not use PVCE on felt work.  Especially key bushings. 
 Think reversible. Hide Glue is first for so many things that are going to
be redone.
 Please use hot or cold hide glue
My two cents
