Allow
  24 hours to cure. Epoxy can be warmed with a heat gun or blow dryer,

    Paul C,
  Either you didn't read my method or you chose to dismiss it! :-(
  My method, (which was a product of Darrell Fandrich's inventiveness),
applies the heat, THEN the epoxy, (in a SMALL amount sufficient to do the
job w/o slathering the damned stuff all over the damned place!!!!! Yes, it
takes a little longer to do than Bill's method, but it's neater, and
esthetically better, IMO. Same system/different method, (that predates
Bill's method by about 10 years!<G>)
