[pianotech] Epoxy

[Farrell]

Damn, ya learn something (almost) every day! I agree with Ron that acetone 
cuts epoxy, but yet often leaves a bit of sticky residue. And whether or not 
I have gotten more epoxy on myself than you, I sure have gotten a lot of it 
on me! So Titebond is the trick? Wow. Sure would never have thought of that.

I will definitely give it a try next time.

David Love suggested wearing gloves. David, you are correct that will 
prevent epoxy exposure, but as with other things, it just ain't the same.... 
;-)
