Something like that, I'd try to arrest the development of the cracks with CA or a thin, liquid epoxy. The bridge repair I mentioned in a previous post was the top half octave's front pins. The pins drifted to perpendicular and left quite a chasm. I pulled the pins, chipped out the loose material and forced-filled the gully (heating bridge and epoxy). Once the epoxy cured, I dressed the surface, drilled for new pins, renotched and replaced the old strings. My 2 pound pin driving sledge received a large chip in the handle. I filled and sanded and it's still solid after 20 years. I've even used it to patch divots in the concrete floor (a good use of excess epoxy). My bench top is riddled with spot-fills in slices, dents, chips and holes. -- Regards, Jon Page ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
