It is a two part epoxy type mixture that can fill and reinforce, and is =
very strong. Its not the type of adhesive where you use a small drop =
where the parts meet. You use it to build up and reinforce the area of =
the break. It can be shaped after drying. Most hardware stores have it.

In a pinch I used it to repair a Baldwin R Una Corda shift lever that =
had broken apart right in the middle. It held up fine, and that is a =
joint with a lot of stress.

    Encase the joint with JB Weld? Not pretty but cheap and it just =
might hold.

      Hello everyone,

      This morning, I had an old action in my action cradle and was =
working on shaping the hammers when the top half of the action came =
loose from the cradle.  I thought it was odd as I knew I had everything =
snug just a minute ago.=20

      As I move up to replace the top half of the action back into the =
cradle, I immediately see what the problem is.  The top action bracket =
(the one at the extreme treble) has completely cracked off.  Now, when I =
replace the action in the piano, there will be no way to affix the =
bracket to the post (since the bracket is now cracked off).  Although =
this piano is probably 75 years old and in bad shape, it is priceless to =
my customer as it was her grandmother's piano.

      What are my options here?

      Eagerly waiting any and all responses!

      Thanks,
      Corte Swearingen
