Hi Bill Bremmer Is your evidence for epoxy being better empirical or have you done a study? Water thin CA glue *does* penetrate the end grain on rock maple. Does epoxy do this too? Looking for the best way to help clients! Interesting that you say the CA can overcome contamination of the pin block. My question is why can it do that? I am glad to see you on the list theses days Bill! At 11:27 PM 2/7/00 EST, you wrote: >The Epoxy will size up the holes and strengthen any mealy, deteriorating >pinblock material.
