It works. I've used qtips as well. You don't want the glue running down the string onto the damper felt.

I'm back to experimenting... (I have access to lots of junked pianos that have been "trashed" but can't be disposed of easily because of state policies affecting our local college.) I had success with CA gluing an upright pinblock without putting it on it's back. It actually worked. I used Q-tips to catch any drips, which I was pretty good at avoiding. I used Stew-Mac pipettes to apply the glue, because the small tip could fit into the gaps between the pins and the wood, and because if it looked like I might drip, I could suck the glue back in. Once the wood soaked up as much as it could, the glue "puddled" in the gaps without dripping. I don't know if I want to try this on a good piano, and may never, but it's interesting... Any thoughts? -mags Maggie Jusiel Piano Tuner Winds & Strings Teacher PO Box 1234 Athens, WV 24712-1234 (304)952-8615 <mags@magsmusic.net> <http://www.magsmusic.net> _______________________________________________ Pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
