CA again

Is it also reasonable to think that your customer watched you do the first
application and decided to "help" by doing another? More of a good thing
don't you know.

List,

Last March I had need to CA a pinblock in a grand that, because of the very
low humidity here in the Ohio Valley, had TP torque deep into the
marshmallow zone and worse.

In November I tuned the same piano again and was happy to find the thing
very tunable. Nice firm pins with no cracking and popping to speak of.

Last Friday I was back again to tune for a recital and found to my dismay
pins that were so tight that I honesty expected to twist tuning pins in
half!!

In February this is the last thing I would have expected. It's a big piano
and has a double DC system installed but I found dust bunnies in the
reservoirs. Yeah, I have given the "lecture".

Is it reasonable to think that the CA glue has taken a REALLY long time to
completely cure?

Anyone with similar experiences?
