<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Gene,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Reherse the installation a couple times to get your
time down. Have all clamps and blocks pre-positioned. Then either use
Titebond Extend or Titebond Liquid Hide Glue (cold hide glue). I've used both
and have installed several soundboards by myself with no trouble. Good
squeeze-out everywhere - no worries mate!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just curious if anyone uses epoxy to glue in a
new soundboard?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Other than the difficulty of removing the
board in the next 25 to 50 years, are there any other problems associated
with this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My main motivation for epoxy is that I will be
alone for glue up and prboably am not fast enough for carpenters
glue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do have a bottle of new glue that I have never
used from Garrett Wate called Slo-Set Glue - an aliphatic resin - gives about
30 min work time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Comments welcome.</FONT></DIV>
