Hi Paul I have tried this just once, and swore that the next time I would line the plate with plastic foil. I'd use standard viscosity (rather thick) and standard hardner, perhaps heating the environement a bit to expedite matters. On the time I did this it worked great.. but there was quite a bit of squeez to clean up... not a big problem. Still... I like avoiding using epoxy (personal preference). I didnt save enough time to make it worthwhile to begin with, and really have never found it a big problem to mate the plate flange to the pinblock. Cheers RicB ------------------ While I've never been a proponent of using fiberglass resin or epoxy to mate a pinblock to the plate flange I'm wondering, if because of the exigencies of circumstances I had to go this route, what are you all using...material wise, to do this? Brand names, success rate, viscosity, etc. BTW, to the very few of you who responded to my last query re the removal of recently installed plastic key tops, thanks much...the dry heat from an old cloths iron or a heat gun did the trick Paul E.
