Decapping the bridge

[Richard Brekne]

I am perhaps the least experienced on this list with this kind of 
work... but each time I've recapped leaving most / all of the root I 
have filled bridge holes with epoxy and 3 mm bamboo sticks. First fill 
with enough epoxy, then push the bamboo stick into the hole shear off 
and wipe off excess epoxy. Similar to the way some Wapin installers fill 
the old bridge pin holes before drilling new vertical holes.

Cheers

    Let me add another question - are you lads and lassies plugging the old
    bridge pin holes left in the root, or leaving them?  Particularly
    where you
    are leaving so much of the root, that would seem to be an important
    question
    here.
