Though I'm <BR>sure I'm not as minimal as some in this procedure, I tend toward using less <BR>CA. Probably my biggest reason for doing so is mess/potential for damage.<BR><BR>For starters, I have yet to tip an upright for application. Capillary <BR>action works quite well without tipping. And, more importantly for me, I <BR>have no worries about CA running down the plate/strings/whatever. Once <BR>capillary action fails to draw in any more CA, you know you're done. It <BR>takes a couple to get the hang of seeing that you're almost there to avoid <BR>dripping, but if you go slow to start, you'll get it pretty fast.
Still, <BR>wise men still have paper towels handy.......and debonder.<BR><BR>I also tend to work in two passes.<BR><BR>William R. Monroe<BR><BR><BR>> Hi Gordon:<BR>> I have treated around 60 pianos with CA, both with and without <BR>> bushings. Your first application will soak into the bushings and the <BR>> excess will run seep down into the pinblock. Be generous. Go around a <BR>> second time (which I do most times anyway) and that will insure that CA <BR>> will wick down into the block where you want it. My philosophy is more is <BR>> better. I don't want to come back later and reapply because I was stingy <BR>> with the product the first time.<BR>> If it is a grand, play it safe and remove the action to prevent seepage <BR>> past the pins. In a spinet like yours, before you flip the piano up on <BR>> all four, be sure any excess has been soaked up with paper toweling as it <BR>> can run down the strings and into the dampers. Ask me
