<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=250191002-18032005>This is =
interesting for
three reasons:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN =
class=250191002-18032005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=250191002-18032005>1. At the =
Associates
Seminar (prepping people for the tests) all the glues in evidence where =
yellow,
i.e., Titebond or Elmers Carpenter.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN =
class=250191002-18032005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=250191002-18032005>2. Assuming =
that "white
glue" here translates to "Elmers" school-type glue, I never use it in =
the piano
...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN =
class=250191002-18032005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=250191002-18032005>3. The reason I =
never use
it is from my early training in the business, specifically Reblitz, =
2nd
Edition, page 81 "...because it is too hard to remove by scraping =
and
sanding only turns it gummy and sticky, ruining the sandpaper ... =
never use
white glue for anything that might have to be broken apart and reglued =
again in
the future." </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN =
class=250191002-18032005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=250191002-18032005>On the other =
hand, yellow
glue isn't much better in that category. Yet people are routinely using =
it,
especially in the field, for key felts, bridle straps, key slip shims, =
hammer
rail props, etc. To which I say: =
"Hmmmmmmmm......"</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN =
class=250191002-18032005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=250191002-18032005>So I've become =
a fan of
PVC-E. Not for wood repairs (yellow) but for any felt and cloth =
gluing. On
the third hand(?): Is THIS stuff any easier to remove in future, or =
are we
just kidding ourselves?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
