I am glad you told me about the heat weakening the epoxy, I hadn't heard that before.
In fact I have never heated it in the past,  but thought I had seen that recommended on the list in the past.

I am trying to imagine an epoxy that's thin enough to be put on the bridge cap without it adding material. Is there a very thin viscosity epoxy on the market that's being used for this, or the possibility of thinning epoxy with lacquer thinner or some other solvent?
