Should be Case Repair Question  Sent: Wed, Jun 6, <a href="tel:20123">2012 3</a>:17:32 PM   Thanks.  In spite of Joe's comments on my woodworking ineptitude I do actually understand the process and techniques of fitting a piece of wood to the case and I appreciate your input.  The principle of using wood as the material of choice generally I agree with but in this case I'm not sure it's the best way to go.  Actually, it's a wood finish, not black.  Black would definitely be easier with no grain or color matching to worry about.  In this case, as I mentioned in a previous post, I think blending the wood finish to the existing finish will be easier as a complete faux finish (something I can manage) and a smoother palette will make it a bit easier. The Abatron stuff that I mentioned earlier does provide a nice fill but cures somewhat porous which concerned me.  I was not familiar with the product that Ruth Phillips sells but after seeing some photographs that she sent me it can molded into shape so that there is little sanding or shaping. And even if there were, you can carve or trim the material with a knife before it fully cures so that the amount of sanding is minimized.  It is a polyester product that gets blended with fine wood flour so that the surface is both smooth and durable even though this isn't a spot in the piano that is terribly vulnerable.    Again I appreciate everyone's input, especially Joe, who always reminds me that we need emotional investment in our work.    David Love <a href="http://www.davidlovepianos.com">www.davidlovepianos.com</a>   -----Original Message----- From: <a href="mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org">pianotech-bounces@ptg.org</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org">pianotech-bounces@ptg.org</a>] On Behalf Of Encore Pianos Sent: Wednesday, June 06, <a href="tel:20127">2012 7</a>:42 AM To: <a href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</a> Subject: Re: [pianotech] Finish Repair Question -
