Bee's Wax
45 pieces of 1/16" round by 11" long bee's wax strips. Can be
melted with a
soldering iron to seal parts together.
This is used, along with animal hige glue,
by
professionals to seal and glue player parts so that years later the player
mechanism can be rebuild without having to be nearly
destroye in disassembly. DA1039
$ 9.10 np
Phenoseal
For sealing wood. Dries clear and seals the smallest
holes and cracks or pin
holes 100% with just one
application. Can be brushed or poured and drained.
It is strongly recommended that any internal wood surfaces which faces the
vacuum channels in the player action be recoated with
this. Phenoseal is slightly
plastic and will
stretch and contract with humidity conditions without cracking or
pulling away original shellac or varnish sealers. Phenoseal
will stick over the
original sealer. It remains
tacky, so do NOT use it to coat a surface that a valve
will seat on.

but it sure works great

Also, use it on all wood and

wish to leave the possibility
of dismantling in future
years. This glue is
specially designed for use in
glue pots. Must

| USING HOT ANIMAL HIDE GLUE If you are doing only one piano, you can heat the animal hide glue in an improvised double boiler. Don't use your wife's because the thing will be ruined. Put the amount of glue in the electric glue pot or your double boiler which will do the job as far as you can tell. Fill the thing next with enough cold water to cover the glue crystals to one quarter inch above the glue. Soak the glue inthe correct amount of water overnight. Heat slowly and stir as it heats. If you improvise, you MUST have a thermometer to make sure you don't overheat it. The working temperature must be at 135 to 145 degrees F. |
Animal
Hide Glue-- Cold application-- The purists do not feel cold animal hide glue
is as
effective as hot glue. Production shops never
use the cold glue. But, I know of technicians
who
feel good about it.
Made by Franklin. No heating
or mixing necessary. Ororless and stainless.
After
years, when restoration is again needed, this glue will break up easily like hot
glue.

Mink Oil
Made from
17% pure mink oil, and the balance is beef tallow and zinc sterate.
This combination is ideal for maintaining the health of leather
to prevent hardening.
Tanned leather loses its
oils in the process and needs natural oils added to
maintain supple qualities. This product is absorbed INTO the leather. Petroleum
based products will eventually evaporate. Mink oil
has an indefinite shelf life.
Massage in and wipe
excess off in about ten minutes. Excellent for treating
leather pouches and gaskets.

Impact
and Abrasion Resistant Neoprene Rubber Coating-
Bellows Rescue !
Our most
impact and abrasion and puncture-resistant rubber coating. It's neoprene
based and resists most chemicals and cushions
metal to metal connections. Brush,
dip,
or roll it on metal piano parts, wood parts, or coat tools which are prone to
drop
or damage the piano while you
are working.
Several applications
are noted:
1. Coat rods that want to rattle and tap other nearby parts.
2. Dab
some in the underside of pedals to prevent metal to metal rattle.
3. Dab
cracks in wood reservoir etc
4. Put a dab between cabinet parts that are buzzing.
5. Rescue
bellows temporarily on player pianos by dabbing broken but
intact corners and abraded points. When only tuning a
player, you
might be famous with
the customer for getting the thing to play again.
6. Dab a little in front
of rubber nuts to keep them from moving.
7. Use as a gasket between parts
for air seal. Beware-- Will not come apart
easily later though. Use only where repairing broken wood etc.
8. Coat
aging large vacuum hoses until replacement can be done.
Use your creative mind to find other applications. Has many
uses in other work areas.
