Mating the New Implant with
the Old Pinblock
The epoxy is mixed, and
I have thirty minutes to pour it into the opening prepared, install the
new transplant, and clamp it into position. In
the case of a grand, the insert is
placed flush with the bottom of the hole. To avoid unnecessary
sanding, I plane the transplant to a
rough, but close tolerance. Using a syringe
filled with the epoxy, I fill any voids around the edge of the transplant.
When the epoxy sets, it sets FAST. The hardener used can be selected for
the shop temperature. Different hardeners are available
for different temperatures and curing rates.
