List, A while back we had a thread on cures for stripped screw holes. I among others contributed the leather in the hole that I learned from the late journal tech editor Don Galt . Another fix was mentioned where you plug the hole with a paper towel ,apply thin CA and accelerator. Well today I had a grand lid hinge that had been repaired to death and failed again .The problem was in the top of the rim and the screws had pulled out of what was left. I filled the fissures -cracks and holes with the paper , added the CA and accelerator . Using the same screws they cut their way through and were TIGHT .It felt as if I had a proper wood to screw fit and they snugged right down . I'll try this on a Steinway action rail next. (like tomorrow as I have an old S and S on the docket) Film at 11. Tom Driscoll -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
