gluing in the new board

[PAULREVENKOJONES]

You might also look at Andre Bolduc's glue. It's available from Pianotek. Very firm, hard setup, with a slightly shorter working time than Titebond. I have been using it for that past two years on boards, bridges, and bridge recaps. No problems.

Hi Gene,

It's good of us to think of the next guy and gal, and replacing that epoxied soundboard is going to curry up explicatives you've never heard as you are awoken from your "Rest In Peace" eighty years or so from now. So if this is a one shot deal, epoxy away. However, Titebond makes an excellent product called Titebond II Extend (thanks to Rick Wheeler of Roseland Piano for this gem). You'll never find it in the hardware store so look it up on the internet or call Titebond for a local rep that can order it for you, oh and you'll have to buy the jug. It's just what you're looking for.

Just curious if anyone uses epoxy to glue in a new soundboard?
Other than the difficulty of removing the board in the next 25 to 50 years, are there any other problems associated with this?
My main motivation for epoxy is that I will be alone for glue up and prboably am not fast enough for carpenters glue.
I do have a bottle of new glue that I have never used from Garrett Wate called Slo-Set Glue - an aliphatic resin - gives about 30 min work time.
Comments welcome.
