[pianotech] CA for stripped screw holes

[Brian Trout]

Hmmm...  that makes me wonder, does the lotion that gets put into Kleenex contribute to the reaction as compared to just a paper towel or plain (no lotion added) Kleenex?  

 

Oh, such fun!!  

 

Woulda been my luck, though, had I managed to catch a Kleenex on fire, it would have been in a customer's home with them peering over my shoulder with an anxious look waiting for me to "fix it"...  and me trying to think of something brilliant to say.  "I meant to do that!!  It helps in the curing process.!!"  LOL!!

No luck, Bill. I'm out of thin CA now, though. (Just had a little bit left over from two CA jobs.)  I'll have to reorder and try it again with Kleenex instead of paper towels (no Kleenex around here at the moment.) Wonder if the thinner layer makes a difference. ???


But this "smoke" never smelled like anything combusted -- just the CA smell. And the look of it was exactly like when accelerator is used with CA.


Now you've got the mad scientist in me all curious, and I'm fresh out of chemicals! :-)

For real???  I'm gonna have to go outside now and see if I can start a fire. Will report back momentarily. Or not. :-)
