List:
I hope you never run into this.  Don't get any CA accelerator on the plastic
damper blocks on Kawai.  (May be the same on other pianos also).  I glued
with CA a set of new plastic dampers to new damper blocks and used
accelerator to speed up the process.  The accelerator changed the chemistry
of the blocks and they came apart at the hole for the lever wire.
Fortunately, I only lost 6 damper blocks.  For the rest I covered the blocks
to avert this problem.
