I have a learning/project piano with bass bridge damage. I've purchased WEST SYSTEM 105 epoxy resin, 206 (slow) hardener, and HD 404 filler. (Primarily in anticipation of future needs, but also to practice on this project piano.) For the tenor end (second pic) I'm planning to follow Terry Farrell's procedure outlined in this post: https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/pianotech.php/2007-August/209310.html Questions... (1) I understand that epoxy should not be clamped tightly, right? So do I just draw it "most of the way together" with clamps and let it cure with spring clamps, or just use spring clamps? (2) Is it proper to just epoxy the bridge pins in, or do you apply a mold release of some sort? If so, what? (3) Going down the bridge to the left (first pic) there are little splitlets at each speaking-length-side hole. Should I use unthickened epoxy, thin CA, Medium CA, or just leave it?? Thanks!
