Secure hold for harmonica valves.
This is an extremely durable, acrylate adhesive that is very well suited for valve repair on harmonicas (Chromatic or PT Gazell valves; cures clear, 20g).
Procedure:
Applying the adhesive: You can use a toothpick to apply tiny amounts of this gel-like adhesive to the reed plate, or you can use the rounded tip of the valve core tool. Hold the new valve with tweezers and guide it towards the adhesive area so that it is already almost parallel. Position the valve BEFORE PRESSING it in place and align it if necessary. After pressing, the adhesive sets quickly. Removing the adhesive: The adhesive can be removed from the bonded area using a blade. It forms a fairly hard "crust" that can be carefully pried off. New adhesive can then be applied and a new valve glued in place.
