<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face="Arial Rounded MT Bold"
color=#000000 size=2> Well maybe its' just me, but I have a pet peeve
with glue plugging up my drill bits when drilling bridge pin holes. When
I've used epoxy I get this white fluff that either blows back out at
me or clogs the bit long enough to enlarg the hole. Making me very
crabby. It's also toxic & it gives me headaches. SO when I do use it
I always use a respirator.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face="Arial Rounded MT Bold"
color=#000000 size=2> Tight Bond to me is a nightmare for gummy
bits as is anything thermo plastic. The easiest applications I've
found is the Bolduc glue from Pianotech or urea Formaldehyde. Urea
formaldehyde is a toxic glue as well but with a respirator it's no big
deal. Both dry hard & drill easily. My glue of choice right
now is the Bolduc.(No respirator) It's not very thermo plastic so no
drill clog & it dry's quickly & dries hard ready to drill overnight.
I've glued on Dozens of caps with this so I know the phenomena is a repeatable
occurrence ....& not just me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face="Arial Rounded MT Bold"
color=#000000 size=2> Bolduc glues his pin blocks laminates together
with it as well as his Sound board. SO do I & with excellent strength
& good results.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Rounded MT Bold"> Perhaps I'm Epoxy impaired but
for Bridge caps ............not my cup of tea. If there are ways to
defeat the problems stated please enlighten me. It's obviously great stuff for
so many applications.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Rounded MT Bold"> Hope that helps</FONT></DIV>
