3-4 inch wIde painters tape and lots of it.

:: 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
