<html> <body> I've taken to spraying the underside of the pin block with accelerator after I've dosed the block. I haven't had any drips, but I found that before I began doing this drips were extremely rare so I can't be sure whether the accelerator helps, or I just haven't come across one that has the potential for dripping.

It is also possible to draw the action out, lift the hammers, cover the rest rail and backchecks with layers newspaper, drop the hammers back, and cover the remainder of the action with layers of newspaper. Reinstall action--and tune while the glue dries. I had to get creative once as I had a piano shaped object that was going to be used immediately after the service call for a performance. I didn't like to do that. I tried to email you directly with what I do for uprights--but your tanner@mozart.sc.edu address bounced it back.
