<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi Clark.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I did use Webb's product on a grand a few years ago with great success so far. I removed the action and masked the keybed then put the stuff in with a small dowel, trying to work it into any voids in the plank. After allowing it to dry overnight I ran a drill through each hole then pinned and strung in the usual manner. To date the pins are just as tight now as they were when I first did the repair. I didn't have any that were as loose as what you're dealing with, but based on my previous experience I'd give it a try. If it doesn't work you can still drill out the hole and use plugs.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>will wickham</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Jul 19, 2006, at 9:32 AM, Clark Sprague wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2"></FONT> </DIV><BLOCKQUOTE dir="ltr" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; ">Hi, all.
