	title of this thread your message No Small task,as I opted to re-glue the original shockmount instead of disassembling the entire darned chair.I sanded both wood and shockmount with 80 grit sand paper to remove any remnants of glue/oxidation.Then wiped with acetone to clean the surfaces(rubber glove is a must!) After extensive research,I decided to use PC-7 Epoxy Paste,and the rep at PC adhesives emailed and gave me a tip.He said to mix 1.5 parts Black to 1 part Gray for optimal adhesion and a bit of "give" or flex. I tell you,an indispensable tool is a large wood clamp,sold at Home Depot for $19.00.The real heavy duty 10" model with the two adjustable handles.It makes the join so much easier.Anyhow,after applying approximately a 1mm thickness of epoxy,I clamped,exercising utmost caution,using heavy cardboard against the wood,so as not to mar the Rosewood veneer.I then smoothed out and blended the ooze around the edges of the shock mount with a wet finger and q-tip. Well,I guess we'll wait and see until full cure takes place...Will report back. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
