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.

My sons have since come home and I had three of them gripping the leg while
I tried to turn the nuts I had on the lag screws.  It didn't budge.  Anyone
tried to release epoxie with heating the lag screw?
