I recommend using a tilter for this operation. However, you need to have =
the appropriate clamps. These clamps need to be pipe clamps with the =
extension jaws, so that you can put the clamp under the tilter frame and =
still clamp in the middle of the panel. The reason the piano has to sit =
on it's back, is so that the back frame and the panels are aligned by =
the frame of the tilter. Of course, sometimes the panel slightly extends =
past the posts, so you'll need to put a shim or ? so that proper =
alignment is accomplished. Because there is still some glue in the =
orfice, I recommend epoxy to fill the voids and still get good bonding. =
(mask off the seam(s) so that the darned stuff doesn't all run out!<G>) =
Although, Gorilla glue is good for some things, it's one of those glues =
that take forever to get really "hard". It is flexible! As this is not =
what you want, the epoxy is a better choice. Besides, there are some =
glues it won't stick very well to. Not knowing the specifics of the =
original glue used can be a problem. Epoxy sticks to everything! (As we =
all know!<G>)
