<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Barbara,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is NO reason to remove the =
pins.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are doing only a few, take off =
the fall
board and slip some news print across the top of the action to keep any =
glue
from seeping through onto the action. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Use a hypo needle and apply the glue at =
the base of
the pin and let the glue well up untill just before it is going to run. =
Treat
other pins and return to the first and apply a second dose. Wait 15 =
seconds and
Tune <G> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If pins are still a little loose, treat =
a third
time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One other thing , for the neatest job, =
cover the
pins not being treated with an old rag so that when the applicator is =
turned
down to apply the glue, any spillage will not fall onto the pin
area.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The glue will wick into the wood, and =
unless you
know what to look for. the repair can not be seen. Futher repair can be =
made
including block replacement at a future date. I have pianos that are 10 =
years
past their repair and holding.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Howdy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ed Foote, I believe you wrote about =
taking pins
out and then CAing a pinblock to get the block to increase =
swelling (if I
understand that correctly).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm in a tight spot here at the Big, =
Dead
Hall. The B in residence (which has been on the don't use list =
because
it is in that kind of shape) is going to be used on Saturday. =
Gee, if
only I had known *last* week. The pins are generally loose, with =
a few
"let go of your tuning hammer at watch it fly" types. Yes, it's =
a
Steinway. Yes, it's in miserable shape and I have no qualms about =
doing
whatever I need to do to get it hold the tune better than it does
now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, I was wondering if I removed =
those few
spinning pins and carefully applied the CA, would I get more holding
power? I am prepared to used my trusty sandpaper shims (I =
usually prefer
those to larger pins). How long should I wait before =
re-inserting
the pins?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks gobs. Man, what a wild
week.</FONT></DIV>
