key lead hole filler

[Farrell]

I'm usually concerned if the epoxy is too thick in an application like this. From your "dough" description, it sounds like the stuff you use is fairly thick. Have you experimented with key hole application to test how securely the epoxy bonds with the wood? Is there any chance the epoxy might fall out when key moisture changes significantly? I'd sure hate to find these things falling out at some point in the future. Your method sure seems fast though - certainly worth a try - I tend to build a tank sometimes when a little scooter would do just fine.... :-(

  Sculpwood Epoxy Putty from System Three is a two part lightweight filled epoxy dough.It sands, drills and cuts nicely. Also takes black dye in the accidentals.
  Use SBS 46 skin cream (buy from epoxy supplier) and you can roll and stuff the epoxy into the holes with your hands.
  Masking tape stretched over one side works well, does not stick to the epoxy and you don't need to clamp a piece of wood, just support with your finger or a piece of wood while you push the putty in from the other side and smooth the open side with a small putty knife.
  It took about an hour to fill an entire key set last week.
