[CAUT] WNG glue and black dust

[Paul T Williams]

Hi Mark,

I'm a bit confused about the "freezing test".  When am I ever going to put 
a piano in such conditions?  At least the one I'm working on will stay in 
a classroom for its' remaining lifetime...or mine....whichever comes first 
;>)  Why do you perform this kind of test? For moving pianos in January? 
Please inform.

Thanks
Paul

Hi Ed,
 
That is an interesting point about the “J” curve.  We the Gel CA it is 
possible to remove the hammers with a little heat on the glue joint and 
our hammer removal pliers.  The will be available in a few weeks.
 
The glue we did use was “Assembly 65” made by the Franklin Glue Co. and 
not PVC-E.  The PVC-E did not pass the freezing test as most glues tested.
 
As earlier mentioned, it is important to always wear a good breathing 
devise whenever cutting our shanks or wood.  The same goes for eye 
protection.  Protect what you have.
 
Mark
