Kevin, The epoxy cartridges are nice and easy to use, but to do the job right one should wet out the hole with un-thickened epoxy before filling with thickened epoxy. Also, don't just fill an existing bolt hole. Over dill the hole and ream back any coring.
That said, I prefer to mix the epoxy myself. First un-thickened for wetting out, then adding some colloidal silica to thicken for the filling via a syringe. For epoxy, I use either West System 105/205 or East System 1032/833. They are near identical except East costs 1/3 less. - Paul E. 1981 C&C Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL On Aug 8, 2014, at 11:51 AM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 11:46:16 -0400 > From: Joel Aronson <joel.aron...@gmail.com> > To: Kevin Driscoll <kevindrisc...@gmail.com>, "cnc-list@cnc-list.com" > <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > Subject: Re: Stus-List Re-Bedding / Filling & Drilling w_Epoxy > Message-ID: > <cael16p_z-clsxxvuvgysgb6fr6f-htsqnwb82f99ln6gvr2...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Kevin, > > I'd use West Six/10 epoxy cartridges.
