This piano wasn't that bad. The second time I tried it was on a baby with tight bushings. No effect. I turned it over and did it from the underside. It took almost a full 2 oz bottle and this time it worked. I know turning a grand over is kind of radical but think about getting the glue in from the bottom! I put 8 to 10 drops in each hole (almost filling them). I used a mirror and a light to see what I was doing. Of course, the holes have to have been drilled all the way through but I think most are.
