<DIV> I got the piano =
finished.
Sounds great. The slowest curing epoxy In could get was a 45 =
minute
set. I mixed it well and goobed the bridge. As I tried to =
screw down
the bridge top, It kept splitting. Too dry out here right =
now. Then
the glue started setting up in 20 minutes instead of 45 =
minutes. We
were desperate. The piano was on a tilt truck. </DIV>
<DIV> We ran a pipe clamp from side to side. We =
stacked
2x4 blocks on the bridge to build it up. Then we used a grand =
piano
pinblock support to crank pressure from the pipe clamp to the 2x4's and =
the
bridge. We did mange to get enough pressure to hold it. It =
dried in
place. We never did use screws or dowels. We put the strings =
back
and pulled them up. It tunes quite well and the tone is =
great.</DIV>
