Zactly how are you going to get the epoxy.......... > > .....filling the interstices in the cellular structure of the wood.... ? You can coat the exterior of the bridge (not sure why), but you're going to have a time of it trying to saturate the entirety of the wooden bridge body. I think you'd only be kidding yourself if you thought it would. And if your epoxy is "some plastic-y stickiness", you are not mixing your epoxy properly, or your epoxy is no good.

BUT I know that a dense material transmits vibration better than a less dense one (hence the superior transmission of sound through water) so filling the interstices in the cellular structure of the wood MUST have some benefit according to the Laws of Physics, although whether it would be perceptible to the ear remains a question. And as for the bridge-top lube: I was particularly concerned about some plastic-y "stickiness" that the epoxy-might present, but if no-one else here has witnessed it, am relieved to hear it. > > Thumpe -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
