Does anyone use 'Winstick - The Pianomakers Glue'? Fletcher & Newman list it as M166, "A new high quality bone glue particularly suitable for piano restoration. No glue pot required, simply immerse jar in hot water." ----- Original Message ----- From: "gordon stelter" <lclgcnp@yahoo.com> To: <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 6:25 PM Subject: Thermosetting glue | | I know that I will be indicted by some as a heathen | for this question but, frankly, who cares? | I do a lot of player work, and for years have | wondered if there is a glue that has the properties of | hide glue ( softens when heated, perhaps water | soluble, etc..) but ISN'T. I do not particularly | enjoy breathing the reek of animal sinews steaming | away under my nose ( somewhat toxic) all day, but do | not wish to use an irreversible glue on a stack, | either. | The water soluble aspect makes removal of | residues easy, but I would even consider non - aqueous | (such as glue gun) if there was one that set up slowly | enough to get the pneumatics pressed firmly into place | before it gets too tight to locate them. And this may | be a benefit in regions ( like mine ) where humidity | swings tend to loosen hide glue, anyway.As long as the | pneumatics could be removed in the future. I'm | interested. Anyone? | Gordon Stelter
