WNG recommends using its CA (CyanoAcrylate) glue for gluing hammers to its high performance carbon tube shanks and has worked hard to develop a glue that handles like traditional wooden glue that technicians are already familiar with—the methods and techniques required for attaching a hammer to a carbon tube shank using WNG CA Hammer Glue require little change for the experienced technician. WNG CA Hammer Glue is a gel and therefore highly viscous—it does not run when applied and fills gaps well. These properties make it ideal for conventional hammer boring and fitting techniques. The open time (when the glue is out of the tube and waiting to be used) and setup time (the time required for the glue to set after it has been applied) are similar to traditional glues and WNG CA Glue does not require accelerator. Additionally, WNG CA Glue is highly resistant to moisture, unlike traditional glues often used to hang hammers, making looser hammer heads much less likely.

WNG offers a Sample Parts Kit to aid technicians in determining which parts will work best on a specific piano. The kit consists of several pre-assembled shanks and repetition assemblies that will fit most common piano brands and which can be installed on a trial basis. It also contains a variety of flanges, shanks, and knuckles so that a custom action can be built to match most pianos. With nine different repetition heel heights that can be placed in fourteen different positions, a technician has the ability to experiment with different combinations to improve the geometry of the piano action.
