<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would never try to glue those in the piano.
That's asking for trouble! Take the action back to the bench man...
If you have to charge more because of the extra travel just charge them.
Sounds like to much of a risk to me... It seems like a fellow could get
into a lot of trouble because of this Spinet! I would say if 5 or more
felts have come loose that you are running a risk of a lot more of them pealing
away in the future. I have only had to deal with this kind of problem one
or two times and I hope to never have to see it again. I used CA glue for
the few I had to reattach. It worked but... I recall using spring
clamps to hold the felt down. I'm not sure I would want to take this job.
LOL Every Spinet I deal with almost has lots of problems, and after all is
said and done I swear I will never do it again, but I always do. One of
these days though... I know I have not been much help with this...
So, all I will say is don't try it in the piano! It could work but it
would be a gamble.</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>The piano is a Cable drop-action with several hammer felt
separations from the bottom of the hammer, the top is still attached (for the
moment).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Is it possible to glue/clamp the felt while still in the
piano? I would hate to have to pull the action…all those lifter wires to
take off and put back in the slots.<o:p></o:p></P>
