I agree with Joe. CA, but after treatment, if you find there are a =
couple that are still loose, the hit 'em with a sandpaper shim.

  Hi Barbara,
  There is NO reason to remove the pins.
  If you are doing only a few, take off the fall board and slip some =
news print across the top of the action to keep any glue from seeping =
through onto the action.=20
  Use a hypo needle and apply the glue at the base of the pin and let =
the glue well up untill just before it is going to run. Treat other pins =
and return to the first and apply a second dose. Wait 15 seconds and =
Tune <G>=20
  If pins are still a little loose, treat a third time.
  One other thing , for the neatest job, cover the pins not being =
treated with an old rag so that when the applicator is turned down to =
apply the glue, any spillage will not fall onto the pin area.
  The glue will wick into the wood, and unless you know what to look =
for. the repair can not be seen. Futher repair can be made including =
block replacement at a future date. I have pianos that are 10 years past =
their repair and holding.

    Howdy,

    Ed Foote, I believe you wrote about taking pins out and then CAing a =
pinblock to get the block to increase swelling (if I understand that =
correctly).

    I'm in a tight spot here at the Big, Dead Hall.  The B in residence =
(which has been on the don't use list because it is in that kind of =
shape) is going to be used on Saturday.  Gee, if only I had known *last* =
week.  The pins are generally loose, with a few "let go of your tuning =
hammer at watch it fly" types.  Yes, it's a Steinway. Yes, it's in =
miserable shape and I have no qualms about doing whatever I need to do =
to get it hold the tune better than it does now.

    So, I was wondering if I removed those few spinning pins and =
carefully applied the CA, would I get more holding power?  I am prepared =
to used my trusty sandpaper shims (I usually prefer those to larger =
pins).   How long should I wait before re-inserting the pins?

    Thanks gobs.  Man, what a wild week.
