I then Googled Aliphatic Resin and came upon the article from Frets it wasn't testing exactly what we are asking but I believe it answers the question! He was doing precise measurements before and after testing the joint with weight then applying heat and weight. His measurement cold disproves the the theory of the glue changing the hammer/shank attitude, I believe. However his heat test had a surprising result, for me at least and would be something to keep in mind.  <BR clear=all></DIV> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=5 border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD><A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://mail.google.com/mail/?attid=0.1&disp=inline&view=att&th=1143828c089b366c" target=_blank><IMG height=16 src="http://mail.google.com/mail/images/html2.gif" width=16 NOSEND="1"> </A> <TD width=7> <TD><B>woodezine - All About Glue.htm</B><BR>23K <A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://mail.google.com/mail/?attid=0.1&disp=inline&view=att&th=1143828c089b366c" target=_blank>View</A> <A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://mail.google.com/mail/?attid=0.1&disp=safe&view=att&th=1143828c089b366c" target=_blank>Download</A> </TD></TD></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD> <TD width=7> <TD><B>FRETS.COM.htm</B><BR>6K <A href="http://mail.google.com/mail/?attid=0.1&disp=inline&view=att&th=11438277900e9fb8" target=_blank>View</A> <A href="http://mail.google.com/mail/?attid=0.1&disp=safe&view=att&th=11438277900e9fb8">Download</A> </TD></TD></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR>-- <BR>Michael Magness<BR>Magness Piano Service<BR>608-786-4404<BR><A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.ifixpianos.com/" target=_blank>www.IFixPianos.com</A><BR>email <A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:mike@ifixpianos.com" target=_blank>mike@ifixpianos.com</A> </BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
