Yes, I have had very good results; I have only been using this method (I have conversely never had any luck with the old pin dope stuff) for about a year, and I would assume that it would last only as long as the piano was in a good humidity environment; but if the environment is good, I would assume the repair should last many years. the alternative would be to replace the pinblock (not cost effective for verticals), or try to repin the piano; even if repinning was somehow a better choice, that could still be done, I feel, if the super glue repair "wears off", years down the road, or if the results were not immediately satisfactory. for grands, be absolutely sure you pull the action, cover the keybed with plastic and then cover the plastic with something absorbant, like old newspapers; every few minutes, check to see if the glue is seeping through the pinblock, and make sure if it is, that it is not running off the newspaper! I had a nasty surprise awhile ago since I didn't plan for that event; got on my pants (ruined them of course), the keytops, and a little bit on the floor; all is well now, except for the pants, since I was able to clean things up, but the glue WILL OFTEN leak through! for putting verticals on their back, Home Depot has or had a great light weight appliance type dolly which works great for me. I get the some other handy male to help me lower the piano down to the floor.
