[pianotech] tightening balance hole was Bouncing Bostons

[Dean May]

Would you share your protocol, Ron? When I've done it I thinned the glue 50%
with water and just swabbed the hole. Then eased them after they thoroughly
dried. It seemed to work okay.

I don't know what Don's recommendation is, but this is the only place in a
piano that I find appropriate for Elmer's Glue.
