David, This may be old news but still a welcome reminder. After repeatedly retrieving her roll of wax paper (and/or plastic wrap) from my shop, my wife finally bought a second roll dedicated to culinary activities only. Regardless of the type of glue used, if the repair involves clamps and clamping blocks, the surface is always isolated with wax paper. Speaking of epoxy repairs, anyone solidified wobbly grand legs by flowing warm epoxy around the tenon? Building leak-proof dams for this task is quite a challenge. West System epoxy, especially when slightly warm, likes to find the tiniest opening to flow out (and down the finished surface of the legs). For this repair, I typically drill a series of small holes around the mortice/tenon joint and inject the adhesive down these holes to give it a head start.

No sticking, epoxy overflow was smoothed out like a thin sheet of glass. This was a particle board music rack on a console. 3 pieces gluing back onto the music rack, all joined together...oh joy! > > David I. > > > > > _______________________________________________ > caut list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives >
