Quieting Grand Action Noise

---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
HI Isaac,
               I use the common white glue with 50% water, it does not set=
 up,
as hard as a rock.  I think it is a kind of PVC-E type glue, but I'm not
sure.   Carpenters glue sets up too hard, and can be problematic in it's=
 self,
and can cause a click or squeek.
I think that I have tried all the main types of glues, and  have found this=
 to
be the most effective and quietest.

Before glue sizing, I will try and steam the hole a little, Take a wet rag=
 and
partially push it into the hole,  then touch it with the tip of a hot iron.
  I
find this approach very effective with keys that have no hardwood shoes.=20
Again, it you steam the holes, leaving over night to dry seems to work=
 better.

Regards roger
