We= tried using tight bond again but tried to get a better feel for just the ri= ght amount of glue to apply so that only a small amount of squezze came at t= he out when we turned up the 40 P.S.I  air pressure. It worked much bet= ter and the samller amounts of glue were more easily cleaned up with damp ra= gs and dry paper towell. With only 11 ribs the spacing between cauls was wid= er and 1& 1/2 hrs. This will probably continue to be our chosen method.<= /FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000040 size=3>   Al= so on a different subject ,on occasion we've had the ribs scoot sideways as = we apply pressure (this happened with go bars to)  so we install short = center pins into the ribs glue surface to keep them from skidding sideways w= hen the pressures turned up.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000040 size=3>   Da= le Erwin</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000040 size=3>   Er= wins Piano Restoration</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
