Application of CA glue to pinblock.

[Doug Richards]

Bill,

ZAP Products manufactures a micro applicator that fits on the end of the
bottle of CA that gives you great control over how much and where.  I've
used it a few times and it doesn't clog and gives great control.  I think
their part number is PT-18 and you should be able to get it from your local
hobby store or Pianotech (I think).

Good luck!
