HI Isaac,<br>
&nbs=
p;
I use the common white glue with 50% water, it does not set up, as hard
as a rock. I think it is a kind of PVC-E type glue, but I'm not
sure. Carpenters glue sets up too hard, and can be
problematic in it's self, and can cause a click or squeek.<br>
I think that I have tried all the main types of glues, and have
found this to be the most effective and quietest.<br>
<br>
Before glue sizing, I will try and steam the hole a little, Take a wet
rag and partially push it into the hole, then touch it with the tip
of a hot iron. I find this approach very effective with keys
that have no hardwood shoes. Again, it you steam the holes, leaving
over night to dry seems to work better.<br>
<br>

<dd>The problem is the wippen cushion felt. The only solution is to
remove each wipppen, brush the felt with a brass brush, and then
"voice" the cushion. Take your voicing needle and fluff up the
felt from the sides and from the top. You will have to regulate the
action afterwards, but it will take care of the noise. <br>

<dd>Hi Wim,
<dd>
A fast and effective way to restore wip felt. Bush clean with
brass brush, then steam with a linen cloth and voicing iron, it will pop
the dimple right out. If you have the time leave over night to dry
completely, or dry iron dry.<br>
