Klinenatize - CA on molding and white glue (PVA) on the felt, clamp with a cable tie Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: "pianolover 88" <pianolover88@hotmail.com> To: <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2003 8:11 PM Subject: hammers unglued Customer's old Cable Console's hammer heads are coming UNglued from mouldings. Gave her price to reglue loose hammer heads, which totalled about 6. I noticed that someone in the past had "wired" several heads that had apparently come loose. After trying several types of glue, (in my shop) none of which worked to my satisfaction, I used my dremel with a large needle as a bit, and made two small holes and used #12 piano wire to approximate where a factory staple would go; worked great! But I would like to ask if anyone on the list has had success bonding loose hammer heads to the moulding with a particular type of glue? Btw, the price of replacing the hammers is out of the question for the customer, and i DID recommend that if the problem continues, which it probably will. But at least for now, everything is holding fine. thanks! Terry Peterson _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
