I've been perusing this digest for some time now and feel it is time to
introduce myself.  I'm a member of the PTG and have specialized in
restoring players for over 25 years.  I have a data base of over 1100,
ranging from ones I've only made estimates on, to major restorations.

I use PVC-e on nylon cloth from piano supply houses, as well as on
my dwindling supply of Bilon.  The only problem I've ever had is on
pneumatics that are spring loaded, as the glue creeps with time.  On
those occasional times that a mistake is made, I've found that super glue
remover also cuts PVC-e.  Put it on, and scrape off the glue.  You must be
fairly quick because the remover evaporates and you're back where you
started from.  This is the most benign way to remove PVC-e that I know of.

Lastly, on the last Schultz U restored, I tried nylon cloth from APSCO on
a few of the pouch pneumatics.  I found them more flexible than the pouch
cloth from Player Piano co.. that I was using.
