Dear list, Here is a new one on me. I repaired a screwon type piano leg that has the screw going into the leg and the other end is a bolt end that screws into a 1/2" nut in the keybed. The wood had stripped out and I brought it back to the shop to repair. I epoxied the screw end into the leg but forgot to check if enough of the the bolt end stuck out and would reach the nut in the keybed. It doesn't. I need about 1/8" to 1/4" more thread out of the leg. Anyone know how I can temporarily release the epoxies' hold on the leg bolt to turn it out a little more. Are there any solvents or would heating the bolt end do it? Any help? I am really looking foolish on this one. James Grebe R.P.T. from St. Louis pianoman@inlink.com "Business is like an automobile.
