 Re: Traditional shellac versus hot glue

Never realised how difficult putting pads in should be!

I've been maintaining my own instruments for 60 years and working as professional repairer for over 20 and have never come across the sort of problems noted in many posts above.
Originally I used shellac but most of past 20 years hot glue without problems with either.

Getting the pads correctly leveled from the first instance is more than 99% of the job and yes this varies a bit depending on the mechanical shapes/leverages of the linkages involved but practice and experience soon teaches you what is needed.

ps. haven't yet had a post proposing using animal glue for pads - guess only a matter of time!
