Hey Dean,
I like that idea a lot better than my way. 1/8" drill and vet
1/8" OD long  needle and syringe. I have a dose syringe that would let me
power the glue in. Come to think of it one might even consider using liquid
hide glue.
Now looking for a piano to try it on <G>
Come to think of it this could work on loose bridges from the back?
