[pianotech] CA glue vs. PinTite or Garfield's?

[Gregor _]

Yesterday I made my first CA job on a grand and it worked. I must admit that I was very skeptical but now I am convinced. How do you apply it? With a hypo oiler or just out of the bottle? I used the bottle and had the problem that the glue came in contact with the string rings on the pin. I guess it´s not so good.

Using a fine tip, pour the red label (the water thin viscosity) CA glue in at the base until the pinblock won't accept any more. In other words, use a lot! He sells larger bottles designed for this purpose, I forget how many ounces they are. You use pretty much use all of the bottle on one pinblock. Oh yes--NEVER use accelerator when treating pinblocks because it will immediately harden and clog the capillaries of the wood keeping it from accepting any more glue.  And then, tune...
