[pianotech] Epoxy

[Al Guecia/AlliedPianoCraft]

Ron,

Thanks for the Titebond trick.

While we are talking about dry hands. I know we had this discussion before 
and I would like to make a suggestion. I just had a bout with dry and 
cracked hands (very dry winter). I used Neutrogena, Norwegian Formula Hand 
Cream or Foot Cream (comes in a tube) and got rid of the cracks in a little 
over a week. I first applied a little Neosporin to the deep cracks that were 
burning, then applied to Hand cream. Give it a try, it works.
