Make it more viscous...means more fluid...to me anyway Dale Erwin R.P.T. Erwin's Piano Restoration Inc.

Thumpe P.S. Please, someone, help me with my quandary over what to do with the Bush and Lane grand that had the Strauch "compensator wippens", originally, that have been replaced with regular ones. (Please send me a pic of an original, or help me find a set to rebuild.)

Just a little. I think 5 % by volume. Dale Erwin R.P.T. Erwin's Piano Restoration Inc.

Less money too. Hi Dale, I like the TB50 I got from you too. Very strong, very hard. The only thing I haven't made peace with is that it's thick (heavy bodied) and has a greater tendency to skate when clamped than what I'm used to. It just takes a little more attention to that detail, and it's a first rate glue. Ron N -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
