Reinforcing sharp-key tips with CA , prior to Spurlock sizingcaul apllication.

[gordon stelter]

Sure. TiteBond III (TM) waterproof. I got a LOT of
this on my jumpsuit, lying on the floor beneath a 
customer's piano, while we glued the side back on.
Washed the jumpsuit 20 times, but the TBIII still was
there ! Hard and crispy !!!
     Thump

P.S. I'm still encouraged to try the super-thin CA on
the already split key tips, too, squirting a drop or
two from inside the bushing hole ( an all of them ) 
and putting the clothespin on the outside. The wood in
there is plenty-rough endgrain, and should soak up the
cA beautifully. I'm only really concerend about some
running outside, and getting on the ebony sharp, so
I'll be plenty careful!!! I'll tell y'all how it works
out.
     By the way: my favorite new method of getting old
bushing coth out is with pipe-cleaners
quadruple-folded, dipped in water, and stuffed in the
slots 
( folded in half, then again ) Goat v whole cset out
vrecently, with WAY less damage to the wood, than
steaming ever did for me! ( Then insert the Spurlock
cauls. ) I havaefeeling that the amount of water you
are applyiong can be regulated, this way, by dippung
them only so far, and shaking out, if you wish. The
wire feeds the water to the cloth, that the fuzzy
part's soaked up.
