[pianotech] re-gluing loose hammer felt

[Paul T Williams]

Wim, doesn't it wick up into the felt a bunch?  I've never done the 
regluing thing. I've always just replaced with a spare hammer I have, or 
talk the customer into a new set of hammers (rare for uprights good for 
grand customers).  I'm thankful that if it happens at UNL, I just 
immediately order a new set.  Hasn't happened once since I got here in 
2006. Maybe Richard West saw this, but I would have found out about it by 
now.

Would Gorilla glue work? Too much mass added to the hammer?  The others 
will probably follow on this particular set. 

My 2cents.

Paul

I've used super glue, clamping the felt with vice grips. It sets up in 
about a minute.

Hello list,
 
What is the best glue to use when regluing loose hammer felt to the 
moulding?
 
Thanks in advance.
