Filling fingernail gouges on fallboard

[Paul T Williams]

Great question.

I've got thirty pianos that need it!  Oberlin says that appearance of 
pianos is nearly as important as how it plays/sounds.  I've played for 
some 35+ years and I never have even touched the fallboard.  How does this 
happen?  Some are nearly 1/4" deep!!!! My fingers aren't that short either 
;>o)

the sides of keys.  The set has new keytops so it would be nice to use
something that won't dissolve them and is reasonably durable and a fair >>

I have had good success with West system epoxy, mixed very heavily with

Microlite filler.
