Glue Summary was Reblitz: Glue pots vs glue sticks

[John Ross]

I reread.
You don't have to wait 24 hrs. I have tuned immediately after the application.
My understanding is, that it soaks into the cells of the wood, and swells them. It will also make them more solid. I don't quite know, how to explain, but that is how I see it anyway.
I am sure others more knowledgeable, will correct me.

  You don't need to loosen the pins.

    Greetings,

          I heard you flip the piano on its back (uprights) , loosen the pins, drop a few drops CA down each pin. then maybe go back and apply a second helping if pin(s) is/are still loose, and retune in 24 hours or so. I tried it on an old uprught in my garage...worked for me!   I turned the pins down while applying the stuff. Some bass pins needed 3 goes. My theory is that it dries and crunches up / gets sandy in there, and "tightens" the pins. Hope this helps...PLease know that I am a 4th year rookie.

      How would you applicate it to a warn pinblock? Even with the pins still in 
      the block or after removing the pins and frame? And does this "repair" last 
      for long or only a few month or so?
