Including that. Put a mass of quick-cure epoxy in a plastic cup sometime. Make sure it's on a durable surface and well-ventilated. Then stand back! When used to bed bridge pins, however, the heat generated by the curing epoxy is dissipated into the wood and pins. You'll not measure the temperature rise with any tools we're likely to own. ddf Delwin D Fandrich Piano Design & Fabrication 6939 Foothill Court SW, Olympia, Washington 98512 USA Phone 360.515.0119 - Cell 360.388.6525 <mailto:del at fandrichpiano.com> del at fandrichpiano.com - <mailto:ddfandrich at gmail.com> ddfandrich at gmail.com From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Rob McCall Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 4:41 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] Bridge cap epoxy Am I to assume we're talking about added heat over and above what the epoxy produces all on it's own?

I am trying to imagine an epoxy that's thin enough to be put on the bridge cap without it adding material. Is there a very thin viscosity epoxy on the market that's being used for this, or the possibility of thinning epoxy with lacquer thinner or some other solvent? Thanks for any input.
