Aliphatic (resin) glue is Titebond or yellow carpenters glue. I'll let someone else answer your question about cold hide glue as I have very little experience with it. -----Original Message----- From: Farrell Sent: Nov 19, 2003 12:05 PM To: Pianotech Subject: Re: In-Home Vertical Damper Replacement Thanks for the responses - a few comments questions belwo: Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Wisner" <mwisner@earthlink.net> > I'd remove the damper felts in the shop then glue on the new felt with the action installed using the damper springs as clamps. A small squeeze bottle of aliphatic glue should keep things tidy. Yup, felt off in shop, in in home using springs as clamps and strings for alignment. I know I should know these technical terms, but I have all sorts of glues in my shop, but which one is aliphatic glue? Tightbond-type stuff? Would there be any disadvantage to using cold hide glue? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Conrad Hoffsommer" <hoffsoco@martin.luther.edu> > > If the action is in your shop _NOW_, why are you going to do the dampers > in the home??? See above - I thought that was the only way to do it! Especially in this case because the dampers are currently regulated very nicely - if I glue in the piano, I shouldn't have to even touch the damper regulation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Koval" <drwoodwind@hotmail.com> > Hi Terry, > > I don't know about the best, but this might help you out.

Is that Tightbond type stuff? Is there something about "Weldbond" that makes it better than Tightbond or cold hide glue? I keep asking about cold hide glue because this lady will never die (she's German and is a "gooood strrrong vooman"), her piano will still look like new 40 years from now, and, if I am still alive, I just know I will be replacing dampers again on this piano in 40 years! > It doesn't take much to keep a felt on. > (less is better) You will be using the strings to provide the clamping and > alignment, so bend your wires before you begin, if needed.
