No bathing is done. A few quick wipes leaves the glued area ready for DAG.

Paul, Yikes! Refer to my statement about DAG. The same applies to Acetone, only more so!!! If you use ANY substance known to thin/remove epoxy, for clean up, you will DEGRADE the Epoxy!!!! I keep seeing this and am amazed that there are not more failures! Epoxy is very sensitive to this sort of thing. Don't do it! As for the clean up w/a sharp chisel, I'd say that's o.k., but not necessary with my system! Dental tools and a specially shaped knife is all that is needed to ensure a "pure" termination. Chisels are a bit over-kill IMO. Besides, I wouldn't subject my Good Chisels to banging up against bridge pins. Hmmm? Not even my Bad Chisels!<G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
