<div>Mark,</div><div><br></div>Interesting you'd post this today. Last week I visited a Howard grand whose lyre, well, needs some work. The single large screw into the keybed simply spins and goes nowhere. I was planning to repair it using T-nuts, but a product that can be used where CA glue would not be effective would be good. It sounds as though you use it a fair amount, right? How long has the small kit lasted for you? How quickly does it set up, e.g. for the lyre, or for S&S action brackets (I needed it for that on Monday!!) <div> <br></div><div>Paul Bruesch</div><div>Stillwater, MN<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 6, 2012 at 12:31 PM, Mark Dierauf <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pianotech@nhpianos.com" target="_blank">pianotech@nhpianos.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I would add that the Lakewood is very handy stuff to have around. I carry the small kit with me on my rounds, and have used it in customer's homes for repairing stripped screw holes, including stripped lyre screws. In fact, once I had to fill large sections of the underside of a keybed where the lyre had literally been torn out of the piano. You can mix it thin, so it will be self-leveling or run down into small hinge screw holes, or as a thick putty for working overhead, as on lyre screws. It's my method of choice for repairing stripped Steinway action bracket screws. It's not inexpensive, and it reeks like bondo on steroids, but I I wouldn't want to be without it.<br> <br> - Mark<br><br></blockquote></div></div>
