<DIV><BR></DIV>Julie,
<P>I think it's the safest thing to do, but I haven't always done it.
<P>You want to avoid the possibility of the CA (if that is what you =
would use)
running the whole way down through the pinblock and dripping onto the =
keys and
gluing things together. I have already just removed the =
fallboard and
covered everything under the pinblock with a couple layers of =
newspaper.
That probably takes as long as just pulling out the action, but =
sometimes you
have to work in tight spaces where pulling the action is awkward at =
best.
<P>When you're done, it wouldn't hurt to check the underside of the =
pinblock
before removing the paper, just to make sure are no droplets of CA =
just
hanging there, waiting to cause chaos after you think you're in the =
clear.
<P>Regards, <BR>Clyde
