Bee's Wax
Plugs that are 1 3/8" diam and 1 1/4" long.. Can be
melted with a
soldering iron to seal parts together.

by
professionals to seal and glue player parts so that years later the player

destroye in disassembly. DA1039

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.

Ground
Animal Hide Glue-
Terribly politically incorrect,
but it sure works great
This glue is highly
recommended for gluing
bellows cloth to wood pieces
in player pianos.
Also, use it on all wood and
felt parts where you
wish to leave the possibility
of dismantling in future
years. This glue is
specially designed for use in
glue pots. Must
be dissolved in hot water.

| 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. |
A natural by-product of soften and preserve smooth leather.
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.
