One of the characteristics of epoxy that is overlooked is that although  =
it will set fast or slow as the case may be but doesn't harden =
completely for 7 days.  Heat helps, but that feature will make the use =
of epoxy to be impractical for this purpose.

In retrospect, I suspect my using epoxy for filling cracks in pinblocks =
would have been better had I waited longer before drilling.  I don't =
think I waited very long.  Again, I've several epoxy hockey pucks=20
laying around that seemed to be soft and after awhile got much harder.  =
Hmmmmmm?  Drilling before complete cure would affect dimension accuracy.

    The point that as the high volume shop for this operation, you are =
the one=20

    rest of us lower volume shops who don't have the advantage of high =

    to incrementally work out optimal approaches.

      True ,but I had it worked out the other way I mentioned & shared =
it on list before. I heard so much about the eficacy of epoxies from so =
many on list I gave up my anti-epoxy bias to try this & am disappointed. =
So maybe I'll go back to the tried & true method I did work out & did =
share with you. Besides it doesn't take high volumne to be aggrevated =
with even one procedural glitch as I'm sure you know. So I'll take that =
as a I don't have any feedback for you.=20
