I've done spot repairs this way but<br>
wouldn't trust a whole section. If you want to resurface, let the<br>
tension down and pull all the strings in those sections. Pull all<br>
the bridge pins and fill the holes with epoxy. Resurface, map out<br>
your new holes, drill, renotch, etc.<br><br>
But first check to see if you can install the next size diameter<br>
pin which might return your side bearing and not have to epoxy.<br><br>

PS Getting to the bridge pins near the struts is impossible.
You<br>
might end up pulling the plate. Oy.</font></body>
