Fender Rhodes Hammer Tip Installation

[xroadie]

Thanks-I worked on these for about 10 years, but it was a long time ago, and it is NOT like riding a bicycle, as I found out when I tried fixing my old Rhodes up for my daughter to play. question: What sort of glue do you use for the hammer tips? I see the brand name Loctite, but is it any particular type?

(Don't want the wrong glue to attract crustaceans, that would be very shellfish)

All hail Vintage Vibe

Hey guys, my hammers have grooved steps on the surface that the tips are glued to, presumable to give the glue some crevices to adhere to. In this video I see the surfaces are flat. Should I keep the original grooves or should I attempt to flatten them out?

Well, I've got the kit, installed the damper felts and am ready for the hammers. I see I'm right with you, because here in Tulsa, we always listen to Leon while working on keyboards!!
