False Beats in high treble after stringing - Now epoxy/heating

[Joseph Garrett]

I learned to heat bridge pins with a large Olde-style soldering iron,
(slightly modified<G>), (Electronic type Soldering Guns are not adequate!),
while applying epoxy to the opposite string side, from Darrell Fandrich.
It's been many years since, but I use it often. Some cautions: 1: Wear a
really good mask that catches fumes. 2. Only heat until you see the epoxy
START to wick. Then remove the Soldering iron, (move to the next pin).
I use a general, clear epoxy, such as Devcon 2-ton. With practice, there is
little or no "clean-up" needed. Can be done with the strings on, once you
become proficient with this method. Ron is correct, in the process of
"thins, then sets up faster". With a reasonably slow cure Epoxy, the working
time is about 15 minutes per "batch". (The "consistancy" will tell you when
to go to a new "batch".) I mix "batches" about the size of a 50 cent piece.
BTW, I use the point of round toothpicks to apply, ONE drop per pin. The
main idea, is to firm the top surface around the bridge pin. Hope this
helps.
