[pianotech] CA disposal?

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi,
Personally havent tried wax paper, but my initial reaction is that the CA would have a tendency to run.
That would be a problem with my clumsy legs, and glue would reach areas not intended to be glued >g<!
With any other paper that I have used the CA spots on the paper snd does not go through to contact the 
surface below the paper ie the key bed. The moisture in the paper sets up thin CA in a matter of seconds.
I have also noticed that the glue on the bottom of the spill sets up first. While the top may still be wet the bottom 
will be hard. The glue seems to harden like ripples radiating like when one throws a stone into a pond of water.
Havent had any drip through yet on grands but do take precautions. Uprights are worse to treat. Especially
when one gets too eager and erects the upright prior to the pools of glue setting up. I do dab the excess of 
glue from the webbing with paper towel and a screw driver but under the plate lurks excess glue to gleefully run 
down onto the strings and dampers to ruin oned frame of mind.%&#@)&%^@ and other deleted niceties. <G>

  Joel,

  Good idea on the wax paper.  Now as far as disposal, I've never been so careless or sloppy to actually have it drip through.  Well, maybe once - but it wasn't my fault. <G>

  I wouldn't think that a fully cured CA, epoxy, wood glue, etc. would be considered hazardous material and require special disposal.  That said, I've no doubt that CA and a zillion other things we are allowed to place in landfills shouldn't be there.  Whatcha gonna do??

    William, 

    I recommend putting wax paper down first, then multi-layers of newspapers to 
    catch the drops. If it does soak through the papers the wax paper will stop the 
    liquid. 

    Now, disposing of the whole mess is a question . Any of this combination a 
    potential problem in the landfill? The amount is not large, but it is a question
    for me as to the potency of what is involved. I personally don't have any severe
    reaction except a smarting nose and watery eyes, but what about the part
    that goes into the trash?
