Learned about the stuff from = David (you balance my action and I'll balance yours) Stanwood. He posted on = the list awhile back about using the stuff to fill empty key lead holes and maybe capstan holes when relocating. =20 =20 BTW I can't imagine tuning the number of pianos I do without an ETD, = both in terms of wear and tear (hands, arms, brain, ears) and predictable = speed; and I tuned aurally for many years before I finally bought one. Of = course you should know how to tune aurally, but unless you're frightfully lazy, = an ETD can help you there as well with verification. If I tuned all beautifully clean and nicely rendering pianos. nah, not even then. But = to labor over some less then lovely PSO (or is that POS) where the only satisfaction is in finishing, can't see it. Doesn't hurt in pulling in those sometimes difficult to hear notes at the very top of the register either, especially when dink, dink, dink, sounds more like clack, clack, clack. Not a bad idea to verify the ETD with your ears either. An = ETD's perfectly calculated scale doesn't always work so perfectly. Unisons, = of course, must generally be done aurally anyway, except maybe in the upper end. =20 David Love davidlovepianos@comcast.net=20 -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] On = Behalf Of Erwinspiano@aol.com Sent: Sunday, July 24, 2005 9:22 PM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Abatron epoxy putty =20 A few weeks a go we were having a discussion on filling rib notches = & David Love suggested this product. I now have some experience with. It's is about the consistency of play dough or lighter & it doesn't run like many 2 part epoxy resins. Simply = mix equaal parts & squish it together till it's one uniform color. I wear plastic gloves. I have formed it to replace small missing bench trim pieces. Let it dry & then sand & it looks great & is very strong. Easy = to sand & color.I repaired a small dent in the face of a new soundboard I = was prepping & it blended to nearly invisible. I've been looking a while for = a product that would do this job. I love technology Thanks for the tip David.
