This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List, I would like to thank those of you who responded positively to my = request for info, including supplier Richard Wagner. Based on all good = / no bad opinions of the stuff, I ordered the kit, and have now made a = dozen or so repairs. Results have been super. Every one worked the = first time, no do-overs. You have to look hard to see the repair. = Thoughtful of Richard to package protective gloves with the kit. You = also need to breath through a respirator. 20 minutes per key? Yes, if = you are doing a bunch, and can prep and fill the next key while the = previous repair is curing. Bottom line: highly recommended, saved my = bacon. thanks, Mike PS, slightly related to the key bushing/hot hide glue discussion = currently going on: I have been able to re-attach most of the ivory = heads by mostening the existing glue wafer and clamping the head with a = heated brass plate. The only ones I couldn't do this way had been = gucked up with Duco or Superglue in a previous repair, on these I = scraped off all the old glue and used a new wafer. The bond seems = totally secure right now, but I'm wondering how long they'll stay = attached. Anyone got some long-term experience with rewetting the old = glue? ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
