Pinblock Separation Repair & Pitch Change

It usually takes me an hour, with the proper equipment. (8" C clamps and a 1/2 drill and a long 3/8" bit) Naturally the epoxy won't cure in this time, so schedule an additional tuning for some time in the future. 
The only unknown is the number of tunings to get it stabilized and at pitch initially.
Time determined by the customers requirements.

  I could stick my finger in the separation in the bass, but not in the treble. The bass separation is in a different place than in the treble, too. I'm not real sure I even want to do this job since the lady is happy with her 200 cents flat piano. How much time would you charge for this job? I'll probably have to put in 6 bolts.

    Will do Rick. Would seem reasonable to think that the larger the separation, the greater pitch change will occur upon clamping. I did a repair on a good 1/2-inch separation a while back and seem to recall that pitch went up about 200 cents. So depending on how much you will be moving your assembly. How big is the separation?
