question from a beginner

[John Ross]

Up here in the - degrees, a cooler wouldn't do it.
On one of my older SAT's I left it out and it went down to 0 F, that lowered the battery's capacity, and it went below the holdon voltage. I lost the 'housekeeping' on the program, for the SAT.
I had to have it reprogrammed, by Inventronics.
I learned my lesson, don't forget to bring tools in, at night.
I don't think the same thing would happen with the SATlll, as it has 'flash' memory.

  Exactly the reason I keep all my glues (that I transport in the car) in a small cooler - well, kinda the reason - I use the cooler so the glue doesn't overheat here in Tampa, Florida - but it will also help in the cold.

    Watch the keep in the car, as they don't like being frozen.

      Welcome to the strange world of piano techs! :-)

      I always use carpenter's glue because I carry some in a contact lens case in my kit. One of my fingers does the application.

      A number of glues would work well, though. PVC-E would also work well. You can get it in the craft section of Walmart. "Sobo" is one name brand I think, and there are a couple others. These two glues are good to keep in your car for when you need 'em.
