>>In a spinet like yours, before you flip the piano up on all four, be sure any excess has been soaked up with paper toweling as it can run down the strings and into the dampers. Just give the pin field a light misting of accelerator before standing the piano back upright. That will set up any remaining glue.

Your first application will soak into the bushings and the excess will run seep down into the pinblock. Be generous. Go around a second time (which I do most times anyway) and that will insure that CA will wick down into the block where you want it. My philosophy is more is better. I don't want to come back later and reapply because I was stingy with the product the first time. If it is a grand, play it safe and remove the action to prevent seepage past the pins. In a spinet like yours, before you flip the piano up on all four, be sure any excess has been soaked up with paper toweling as it can run down the strings and into the dampers. Ask me how I know..... Good Luck Mike Kurta
