Hi Les, Try CA glue instead of tuning pin tightner. I have used as much as 10 ounces on a single piano. On a grand apply with several layers of newspaper or other protection. After application cover all the action except for hammers with newspaper--slide action into cavity and start tuning. By the time you are done tuning any dripping should be finished, but if you wish to be cautious you could leave the newspaper in for a couple of days and come back.
