[pianotech] CA disposal?

[Dean May]

It is a good idea to mist accelerator over the pin field before setting up a
vertical piano to make sure any pools of CA set up first.

Hi,

Personally havent tried wax paper, but my initial reaction is that the CA
would have a tendency to run.

That would be a problem with my clumsy legs, and glue would reach areas not
intended to be glued >g<!

With any other paper that I have used the CA spots on the paper snd does not
go through to contact the 

surface below the paper ie the key bed. The moisture in the paper sets up
thin CA in a matter of seconds.

I have also noticed that the glue on the bottom of the spill sets up first.
While the top may still be wet the bottom 

will be hard. The glue seems to harden like ripples radiating like when one
throws a stone into a pond of water.

Havent had any drip through yet on grands but do take precautions. Uprights
are worse to treat. Especially

when one gets too eager and erects the upright prior to the pools of glue
setting up. I do dab the excess of 

glue from the webbing with paper towel and a screw driver but under the
plate lurks excess glue to gleefully run 

down onto the strings and dampers to ruin oned frame of mind.%

Joel,

 

Good idea on the wax paper.  Now as far as disposal, I've never been so
careless or sloppy to actually have it drip through.  Well, maybe once - but
it wasn't my fault. <G>

 

I wouldn't think that a fully cured CA, epoxy, wood glue, etc. would be
considered hazardous material and require special disposal.  That said, I've
no doubt that CA and a zillion other things we are allowed to place in
landfills shouldn't be there.  Whatcha gonna do??

William, 

I recommend putting wax paper down first, then multi-layers of newspapers to

catch the drops. If it does soak through the papers the wax paper will stop
the 
liquid. 

Now, disposing of the whole mess is a question . Any of this combination a 
potential problem in the landfill? The amount is not large, but it is a
question
for me as to the potency of what is involved. I personally don't have any
severe
reaction except a smarting nose and watery eyes, but what about the part
that goes into the trash?
