[pianotech] Bass Top Bridge

[Al Guecia/AlliedPianoCraft]

Dean,

I've been using the off to shelf epoxy for years. It's quite good for 
gluing, never had a problem, but If you're going to do any filling or work 
on bridges, sound boards, etc, the West System has it over anything I've 
used in the past. You can make it thin, thick or even mimic wood. I'm really 
sold on it now. Terry's comments on the stuff is what got me to try it. 
Thanks Terry!

Al
