My reasons are as follows:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) If the pins are so loose that they rotate too readily, then the thin glue will surely flow clear through to the other side, maybe even getting on the punchings and felt or up into the key bushings. (Assuming you're looking for an expedient method, rather than total disassembly) </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Because the pin is smooth, more glue will wick along the pin, as opposed to how it behaves on tuning pins. Possibility of frozen pins will occur. A medium viscosity glue will just grab the first few mm of wood and pin, leaving you or the next technician a choice in how to proceed later with the proper refurbishment of the rail/pins.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joseph Alkana RPT</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
