I use small shoe pegs for that (too common) repair , but= the epoxy seem appealing. Thanks for providing this.

The mold release is= so the screws can be taken out,tightened or serviced at a later= date In conjunction with that I have now added the nice strong= folding brace found in the Schaff cat. Part no.940-w called desk= support. It is a far better set up than the folding metal stick= with collar type it inserts in & far more permanent. Easy to= locate & attach The 940-w is very similar to the support on all new stwys & I= guarantee it will keep the screws from becoming loose & stripped= from heavy books & players of all ages pressing the pages hard= against the rack. This will now be sop on every stwy rebiuild.= No more service calls with the rack laying in the piano & screws= all over the place. Know what I mean?
