I'm called to reattach a 1960's Kimball studio's front leg, that was inadvertently amputated during a move. It was on a dolly coming through a door, the bottom of the leg (no toe block) hit an obstacle, and the dowels at the arm snapped in half. An 8"-square of the side also came free, with half of the sockets that the dowels went into. My plan is to glue and clamp this side piece first, then drill out the old dowels the next day and reattach the leg. All the pieces fit neatly together; there are no major gaps to fill. Since the new dowels will give structural support, it seems Titebond would serve, but I'd like to learn more about the various types of epoxy, as well as to Do The Job Right. What say you all (I can guess Terry's answer! :-) ? --Cy-- Cy Shuster, RPT Albuquerque, NM www.shusterpiano.com www.facebook.com/shusterpiano
