Hi Joe, Use the syringe but forget about the needle. It just makes it require more pressure to squeeze the glue out. Just use the plastic nib the needle screws onto; jam the nib into your drilled hole (seems like 1/8 is about the right size). The needles are good if you need to reach somewhere. But for this one, you got the hole right there in front of you, no reaching required. I'm sure it would work on bridges if you can get the hole in the right spot. Works great on separated ribs and backposts, also. I really like the urethane glue for this application, 'cause as you said, it fills all the voids and is super sticky.

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? Joe Goss RPT Mother Goose Tools imatunr@srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com
