On my first experiment with this I laid a console on its back and used a
half ounce bottle of Hot Stuff red label and had some left over.  This piano
wasn't that bad.  The second time I tried it was on a baby with tight
bushings.  No effect.  I turned it over and did it from the underside.  It
took almost a full 2 oz bottle and this time it worked.  I know turning a
grand over is kind of radical but think about getting the glue in from the
bottom! I put 8 to 10 drops in each hole (almost filling them).  I used a
mirror and a light to see what I was doing.

Of course, the holes have to have been drilled all the way through but I
think most are.
