The name can be "stratification epoxy system" . I bought European = epoxy you surely will not find The consistence is in Brookfield , mine was 600 +-100, with a 50 min = pot life , takes 5 days to be hard. Different hardeners can be used on mine, giving different viscosity. I used it to reinforce an old cap on a little grand, was 3 years ago, = worked fine. it really dripped in the wood. This epoxy is used for marine works = (surf, boats) and planes. Ask for the specification regarding the shore = and the elasticity modulus of the product. I may admit I am totally unsure of how it will hold in time. My cap = was not broken, just the little habitual cracks. I washed the excess with acetone and inserted new bridge pins. Did not = like the mess of washing the cap , but it was not so hard. May be some graphite can be added in the top coating, but I doubt it = will allow for a really good string rendering . I wondered that if string rendering is poor, if that does not conduct = to bridge roll condition sooner or later ? What do you think ? Regards.
