[pianotech] Evil Glue

[davidweiss at embarqmail.com]

This is the set up described by Bill Spurlock in his article on how to do key bushings. Its been a few years since I read the article but I think Bill says this set up has certain advantages over the traditional glue pot when you need small amounts of glue. I use the same set up and find it quick and easy.  Bill also lists all the advantages of using hide glue for key bushings. I wish manufacturers of pianos would read it

My hide glue kit lives in my car.  My kit is the same size as several others that live there . . . my Damppchaser service parts kit, for instance.  I've attached photos. I have done an in-home hammer hanging with hide glue.  If you're going to do this in-home, adding the hot hide glue dimension really is not that much fuss and bother.

So, since I don't have a real shop - just my basement - and I need to replace hammers on an upright piano ....... At a customers' home, I'm supposed to drag, setup and use a hide glue pot to hang the hammers ..... I don't think so.... just sayin' FWIW, I've started to use fish glue.
