[pianotech] evil glue

[Joseph Garrett]

David,
I use it to re-install things that have been glued with hide glue
initially. In the field hammer head reglue. (trick: heat the glue, in it's
container, (small), in a cup of very hot water...makes the glue set up
faster.<G>) Regluing/bolting/clamping separated pinblocks on uprights. Not
to be used for felt, as it's too thin and penetrates too much. I'm sure
there are other applications, just can't think of them right now. (Only
into my first cup of coffee<G>)
Joe
