[pianotech] CA glue vs. PinTite or Garfield's?

[Dean May]

I never use more than 2 oz anymore. It just isn't necessary.

Basically the instructions were these: Remove the action and place towels on
the keybed. Using a fine tip, pour the red label (the water thin viscosity)
CA glue in at the base until the pinblock won't accept any more. In other
words, use a lot! He sells larger bottles designed for this purpose, I
forget how many ounces they are. You use pretty much use all of the bottle
on one pinblock. Oh yes--NEVER use accelerator when treating pinblocks
because it will immediately harden and clog the capillaries of the wood
keeping it from accepting any more glue.  And then, tune...

All I know is that some of these contain(ed?) glycerine, which attracts
moisture from the air, but also encourages decay, I believe.  If that is the
case any longer, I do not know. 
Please describe Dryburg's suggestions. I am curious to know whether his
techniques differ from mine.
