Just make sure it doesn't run down into the felt punching or it will turn it
to stone.

A drop of thin CA glue at the joint will take care of it and still allow for
easy enough removal.

There is a possibility that this 1989 Weber Grand's let-off buttons are
slipping, since 1) they are very loose, and 2) supposedly the hammers began
blocking more than once not long after regulations. This is the first time
I've seen the piano, so I put a pencil mark in the center of the let-off
buttons to check their possible movement when i return in 3 months. 
If they do move, is there a way to tighten them up, like Loctite or
something? Otherwise they will have to be replaced. At least the buttons
themselves, if not the metal thread.
