fearfeasog Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Hi all. I was practicing tonight, hoping to go to the session in the morning, when my Ceili suffered a completely detached pad! how would you suggest I fix this on the quick? the Ceili is a 30b anglo, if it makes any difference. The cardboard(?) disc is still attached to the lever, but the felt and leather parts are detached. so i guess i'm attacing felt to cardboard, if that's cardboard. thanks!! ff

Jody Kruskal Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I think white glue would work but it takes a bit of time to dry. Contact cement would be faster. Best would be to put on a new pad as the hole behind it leaves an indent in the soft pad leather and it is very hard to get it to line up exactly as it was. Try to make that alignment though because otherwise you will get air leakage. Take off the action pan and look through the hole to see if you have the pad in the right spot.

Move bellows to test to see if airtight. Allow the glue a few hours to cure before playing. Hope this helps. Good luck Steve Edited January 13, 2013 by SteveS
