Well....I'm glad to see that another E-27 is in the same boat as me!!! I also need to do a bunch of rebedding and this info is very useful... A. I had no idea that epoxy shrinks...I thought only Bondo shrunk and products that use a cream hardener... B. The G-10 also makes great sense for compression.

My big problem is that I still need to figure out what hardware is going back on :)

Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations, etc. I almost feel like I have joined some type of fraternity here!!!

Best Regards,

Pete

:: Hi all,
::
:: I've removed all the hardware from my deck and am about
:: to over-drill, fill, and re-drill.
::
:: I'm wondering if anybody has some good tips on how to
:: keep the expoxy from dripping through the holes and into
:: the interior.
::
:: Taped on wax paper under the hole? Wait until epoxy is a
:: thick consistency? Use thickeners?
::
:: I'd love to not have to learn this one the hard way ;-)
::
:: Thanks
