That's when I first heard about CA...at some convention a long time ago. Probably a good person to be doing business with... David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, CA 94044 Original message From: "J Patrick Draine" To: pianotech at ptg.org Received: 3/26/2009 10:21:59 AM Subject: Re: [pianotech] CA glue vs. PinTite or Garfield's Don, Dryburgh started pitching CA glue approximately (at least?) 10 years before you heralded its use on pianotech. He'd give classes (at Northeast Regionals) extolling its virtues in a wide range of repairs (hammer shanks! veneer! etc etc.) and then throw in "Hey I even used it on totally torqueless tuning pin on this wretched Junker Upright, and it held!!" Now, at that point he wasn't recommending CA as a treatment for an entire pinblock -- there were lots of skeptics in the classroom back then -- but, as far as I remember, that was the starting point for its usage as a "pin block treatment."

I don't think that makes it "relatively new". I know this because I was the first person to post in public about it. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
