CA glue and pinblock cracks

[Dean May]

I think it is that the dope attracts and holds moisture. Moisture then acts
as a catalyst for the CA glue, causing it to set up quicker. 

 

Whatever is going on the end result is as you say: complete success.

This question has been asked before, and I am with the consistent responses
that suggest CA treatment of a previously doped block may work even better
than on an undoped block. Seems as though the spongy nature of the doped
blocks maybe take up the CA better - or something - whatever. But I've done
several previously doped pianos with complete success.

 

Go for it.

I have a customer with an old, (1907), Ivers & Pond baby grand. The pinblock
appears to have been doped at one time and, predictably, is now exhibiting
loose pins again. Is it possible to do a successful CA treatment on a
pinblock that has been previously doped?
