---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment David, This subject ended up as a Q and A in the PTJ sometime in 2003, I believe. I haven't done wood inserts, or tried steam yet, but I've had good luck sizing with Tite Bond and a dummy pin. If it isn't a perfect fit, it can be drilled to size. It's pretty easy, and seems to be a durable fix. Dave Stahl In a message dated 12/2/04 4:57:27 AM Pacific Standard Time, pianotuna@yahoo.com writes: > Have you tried "sizing" the holes?
