<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: CA on doped pin blocks</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Sorry – I couldn’t figure out how to get into the archives. Cy Shuster was kind enough to enlighten me about using CA on doped pin blocks. In essence I’m trying to keep a beat-up Story & Clark upright alive long enough for the owner to come to grips financially with the need to buy a replacement. (She keeps sheet music over burned through top panel where her son had a little accident with a candle, wax is very hard on piano actions – they did save the house from burning down however.)

What type derelict piano are you up against?   Regards   Dale             I apologize if this was already discussed. In the posts a while back on using CA glue to tighten pin blocks did anyone discuss using it on pin blocks previously treated with so-called pin block restorer? Can you shim pins that have already been doped? Just wondering if the restorer (or the CA, for that matter) make shimming more likely to open cracks you can't readily see. Thanks - this forum is really helpful to us less-experienced techs.
