He isnt always so clever at listening to or reading directions. He used West System epoxy to do the job... but mixed it 50-50 instead of 5 to 1. Restrung and put back together 6 months later there was still gummy epoxy being pushed out and dripping down.... I am not sure whether or not he ever got around to redoing the job... he was a bit depressed about the whole thing... hehe.. Cheers RicB
