David,
It is not adviseable to "clamp" epoxy. Use a gap filling type and just =
let it set to almost, then clean up by scraping, etc. Also not =
adviseable to use the compatible solvent, of which there are two, (there =
may be more), Alcohol and lacquer thinner are verboten, it will simply =
break down the strenght of the epoxy. I personally use "steel epoxy" for =
this kind of repair.
regards,
Joe Garrett

  I have a customer with a Boesendorfer 225 c 1978.  The bridge is =
splitting along the speaking side pin line on the top 5-6 notes.  I'm =
not sure how long it has been this way, this is the first time I've seen =
the piano.  My intention is to remove strings from this area, work epoxy =
into the crack, pull it all back together with clamps and clean off the =
excess with a bit of lacquer thinner.  Any comments.
