Not long ago someone talked about securing damper heads to wires (those
that rock back and forth) with burnt shellac.  Is that orange-brown stuff
that comes in flakes that horn repair people use?  Where can I get that? 
How is it prepared? Is that what Steinway and others used to finish
soundboards? I was thinking of putting a drop of superglue or carpenters
glue on them.  What do you think?
