Keith, What does the brass powder epoxy consist of? I think you said you ground brass rods down to dust and added it to light colored epoxy - yes? Is it just for looks? Also, is that just epoxy on the shanks of the Brilhart Tonalins? Dan T

I purchased the brass (bronze) epoxy from McMaster-Carr a few years ago. It was like $65. I think Theo used to use it for baffles in his custom Link STM jobs. It looks great new but not when it tarnishes. Plus, I do not think it is as good for baffles as a plumbers epoxy putty. It can fall out after a few years. My Brilhart Tonalin shank repairs are banded with wraps of music wire, coated with a thin clear epoxy and overcoated with black epoxy. --- On Mon, 8/17/09, Dan Torosian <dtorosian@...> wrote: What does the brass powder epoxy consist of?
