CA in a hurry

Howdy,

Ed Foote, I believe you wrote about taking pins out and then CAing a =
pinblock to get the block to increase swelling (if I understand that =
correctly).

I'm in a tight spot here at the Big, Dead Hall.  The B in residence =
(which has been on the don't use list because it is in that kind of =
shape) is going to be used on Saturday.  Gee, if only I had known *last* =
week.  The pins are generally loose, with a few "let go of your tuning =
hammer at watch it fly" types.  Yes, it's a Steinway. Yes, it's in =
miserable shape and I have no qualms about doing whatever I need to do =
to get it hold the tune better than it does now.

So, I was wondering if I removed those few spinning pins and carefully =
applied the CA, would I get more holding power?  I am prepared to used =
my trusty sandpaper shims (I usually prefer those to larger pins).   How =
long should I wait before re-inserting the pins?

Thanks gobs.  Man, what a wild week.

Barbara Richmond, RPT
