Ambient temp in the room when I started tuning the piano was 68F. By the time I discovered my glue was gummy, between the steam coming from my ears and the steam from my "glue pot", well, it was pretty warm and humid... probably both in the 90 range <g>. But seriously, 68-70F and about 45% humidity. Ideal,right?
