CA glue on grands

[Don]

Hi Roger,

By the way one poor fellow managed to *glue an upright* to the floor. So I
suggest layers of paper under the affected area. Nice to know the CA will
*wick* but I still think I prefer my uprights laying down.

I generally use several layers of newspaper with the action removed in an
Grand, Though in one case there was just *one* loose pin, so I simply slid a
whole newspaper between the action and the pin block. And yes...the glue
went right through. 

I am using a *super* thin formulation and having excellent results.
