Best would be to paint the wood = with unthickened epoxy and then use the filler mixed real thick - like = peanut butter. I would experiment with a few junk keys. You need to have = a technique so that you don't fill up the rest of the mortise with epoxy = - so that the keypin doesn't end up bottoming out (I don't think the = caul is deep enough). Also, install bushings in the repaired test key to = make sure the glue sticks to the epoxy.
