    I made a boo-boo today and I'm posting this so no one else should =
make the same mistake.=20
    1.  Tilted a small spinet on its back for CA glue application to the =
loose pins.
     2.  Applied CA without incident.  A second application followed as =
most were soaked up by the pin bushings. =20
    3.  Righted piano and began tuning, here's where it gets good.....
    4.  Found several dampers frozen to strings, and several strings =
sound dead with no sustain.
    5.  Finally realize that not all the CA was absorbed into the =
pinblock, but enough stayed on the surface to run down the strings when =
I tilted the piano back up to normal, coating the strings and soaking =
into the dampers.
    6.  Going back Monday to fix it.   The lesson here:  Check to see =
how much liquid is still sitting on the plate before uprighting the =
piano.

    DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU !!
