It will be better. You can get the ultra thin stuff. They sell more, so it is fresh. They also sell applicators, including fine tips that attach to the the bottle. Up here a 2oz bottle is less than $15. I find that I use about the 2 oz. I will go through all the pins, and go back over the looser ones till the bottle is finished. I had a 74 year old customer that had been given a $7000 estimate to replace the pinblock etc. He is ecstatic that it cost him a fraction of that, and he can enjoy his piano again. He felt he couldn't afford the $7K., and this will last him out. I suppose that I was taking someone else's work away from them. But realistically, he wasn't going to have the big job done anyway. I feel he should have been given the cheaper option. We have to give the best service to our customers, according to there means. Question. Did I do wrong by offering this option, and thereby taking away another techs work? I had been called to tune the piano, and was told that it wouldn't hold it's tune. I then suggested the C/A treatment. It was then, that I was told of the previous quote of 7K.

I buy LocTite Super Glue at Walmart in .35 oz. bottles for 3 or 4 bucks a shot. I'll try Hobby Lobby and see if they have what you're talking about. If it's cheaper (and better) that would be a good thing. Chuck -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
