superglue. I'd rather not drill if it can be helped. Thanks again-"

I strongly urge you to reconsider   My general rule is: if there"s plate
bushings Drill!<G> I don't like to do stuff twice! Put the piano on it's
back. Take an extra hour to drill. Then, apply the CA glue. I use
"Insta-Cure, Super Thin, (1-3sec) Glue". It has all the appearances of
being the same company as Dreyburgh works with. I get it at my local,
(popular/active/busy), Hobby shop. Because they are busy, there is a good
turnover, hence it's fresh. CA does have a shelf life. If you keep it in
the FREEZER, you'll get to use it all up.<G> I buy it in 2 ounce botttles..
That is usually sufficient for one piano with a bit left over. BTW, The
"Un-cure" by the same company sucks! Dreybourgh's is far superior imo.
If this is done correctly, you will get good results.. Just like everything
else we do, ya needs to pay attention to the fine details.<G>
If you are doing a grand, I recommend putting plastic sheeting in place
with tape to make sure the stuff doesn't get into places you don't want it!
DAMHIK!<G>
Best,
Joe
