This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello Liszt and Joe & Penny This thread about tightening wrest pins using CA glue is a very = interesting one. The problem is I have absolutely no idea what CA glue = is. Maybe in UK we have an equivalent. So... Could someone please = describe this glue... What colour is it? ... what consistency? ... what = smell does it have?... Is it water-based and therefore thinned with = water before use?... how large are the containers it comes in? .... is = it a resin glue? ... is it something like PVA woodworking glue? (which = stuff can be thinned down with water in a bucket to "size" concrete = before laying wood-block flooring..:-) Is it another name for that = terrible glue called "Cyano-Acrylate" as used in the plastics industry = and can glue your fingers to your nose (or other parts of the anatomy). = With the same initials this is my guess. It is this very "thin" glue = which comes in quite small white plastic bottles with a dispensing = nozzle and has a limited "shelf-life". Question: If you had an old (1895) S&S model "B" 85 note grand with = replaced tapered legs and loose Bass tuning pins... would you be tempted = to go the CA route? I have just such a problem at the moment but I rather think I prefer the = replacement strings and pins option on an S&S of that age.
