Heat thins the epoxy momentarily, but accelerates the cure rate too, so the 
net effect is better penetration but a shorter working time. It can get 
touchy, depending on your epoxy and mix proportions when you find that as 
the stuff cools from your heat application, it goes from the viscosity of 
water to that of tar - or stone. Best to experiment some with an unfamiliar 
product to get acquainted with it's characteristics before committing in a 
piano. If you ever need to know anything about epoxy, ask Terry.
