question from a beginner

[John Ross]

That would work for working hours, with just stops at customers, where I have found no problem, as is.
But the problem is that stuff can't be left overnight, in the vehicle, during minus temperatures.

  If you add several bottles of water to the cooler the water will help moderate the temperature.

  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.
