I heard this and tried it. I heard you are supposed to use Satellite City's RED Hot Stuff. The shop that told me about this said they once had to scrape a vertical off the floor because the stuff went through the tuning pins holes all the way and glued the piano to the floor! I tried this on my now sold 1986 Cable Aeolian console. I laid it on the floor (with rags beneath it!) and put red Hot Stuff around every pin. Make sure you have very adequate ventilation! There was a slight improvement on the loose pins. I had hoped for more but I think that is because I am picky and I like tight pins. If I had to do it again I would use MORE glue. The shop that told me of this procedure is a large, well established 100+ year old dealer. This is all they use for pin tightening by liquid. Glenn.
