Hello, Lester....Thank you for this extremely helpful tutorial with clear views, directions and advice. I just completed refacing the (very clackety) bass pallets on an old Hohner CF deClubbed box. I think it was a success! It's not exactly silent but it doesn't sound like some cloggers are accompanying my playing. I'm planning on following through with my GC Pokerwork and moving on to some repairs (and even retuning) drawing on your other videos. Thank you again for you generosity in sharing your expertise with the world.

Fantastic series of videos Lester. I was thinking when you are installing the small pins in the hinges that it might be easier if you started at number 8 instead of number 1. Then the levers would not be in the way as much. Just a thought.

Great video series! What is the brand of the pallet facing and where did you obtain it? Best Regards, Jeff in New Jersey, USA

Why use hot glue instead of wax? Traditionally wax is used, and it has the advantage of making the process reversible, should you ever decide on another thickness of felt, which would require repositioning the pallets on the levers.

I have rarely if ever come across boxes with the pallets held on by wax. Over time wax hardens and, on pallets, this would result in the becoming detached due to the mechanical shock of being opened and shut. Hot glue is easily removable if needed but does not fail over time like wax would.

@@MelodeonTunes In his book 'The ins and outs of the accordion' Thierry Benetoux suggests fixing the pallets using wax on diatonics. But there seem to be more ways to Rome..

@@MelodeonTunes FWIW, I've used isopropyl alcohol applied to hot glue to "freeze" it which makes popping it off a joint quite easy. I just resurfaced the bass pallets on a CF Hohner (noted above) and used hot glue using a larger size glue gun that I let get very hot before applying. The hot glue was tightly deposited, is very strong and I feel confident I can disassembly without issue should I need to. None of this obviates the benefits of using was....just that to my experience hot glue isn't essentially irreversable.
