<div> Dale:<br> <br> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I've used the Bolduc glue for pinblock lamination for several years when I'm oversizing them or building up multi-level blocks. The only issue for me is even clamping pressure and the size of the panels that I've been working with since I don't have a full soundboard press system (still buying them from Andre with nary a complaint other than I ache to be making them myself :-). I don't see why it wouldn't work with rib stock laminates as well. As I recall, Andre told me several years ago when I was interviewing him for the Journal that he uses his own glue for the pinblocks he makes as well. You might ask him.<br> <br> Paul<br> </font></div> <div> <br> </div> <div> <br> </div> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Erwinspiano@aol.com<br> To: pianotech@ptg.org<br> Sent: Thu, 11 Oct 2007 12:02 am<br> Subject: Glue for laminated rib construction<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_2_ce3dfbe0-3dc2-4a69-94b4-e8189be89751"> <font id="role_document" color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> <div>  Belly heads</div> <div>  I've been gluing up my own laminated rib stock & my pinblocks.  I  won't use epoxy because it too is toxic to my body & expensive.  I'm open for suggestions.  </div> <div>   I need to glue up a bunch of ribs  tomorrow.  I like th Bolduc for my pinblocks & bridge cap applications because it doesn't clog drill bits or have adverse affects on tuning torque.  I believe Andre usu to glue up his own blocks & panels.</div> <div>  Any help?</div> <div>  Thanks</div> <div>  Dale</div> </font><br> <br> <br> <div><font style="color: black; font-family: ARIAL,SAN-SERIF; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"><hr style="margin-top: 10px;">See what's new at <a title="http://www.aol.com?NCID=AOLCMP00300000001170" target="_blank" href="http://www.aol.com?NCID=AOLCMP00300000001170">AOL.com</a> and <a title="http://www.aol.com/mksplash.adp?NCID=AOLCMP00300000001169" target="_blank" href="http://www.aol.com/mksplash.adp?NCID=AOLCMP00300000001169">Make AOL Your Homepage</a>.</font></div> </div>  <div class="AOLPromoFooter"> <hr style="margin-top:10px;" /> Email and AIM finally together.
