Hi Ron,

Well, I've never applied it from the bottom (and never have needed to do
so). But I understand others have sometimes gone to the trouble of turning
the piano up side down and applying CA glue. Like Ron I never understood
why they wanted to do that. 

Perhaps the extreme dryness where I reside is an advantage after all. I've
had clients who applied as much as 12 ounces of CA glue and it all
disappeared into the block. If they are out of town I suggest DIY for CA so
next time I visit the piano can be tuned.
