Subj: [kl] binding for cracks
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 18:00:56 -0400

Hello List,
Feeling a bit blue today, a wonderful
Leblanc top joint cracked day before yesterday....
right before performing the Saint Saens Organ
Symphony! I filled it with bee's wax by heating
a screw driver, holding it in the wax and drawing
on the crack. Got through the performance just
fine, but was talking to our local repair person today
and she suggested we put a graphite band around
the wood. Has anyone had any experience with
this? Comments? Does Brannen use this
technique?
TIA.
