It's still advisable to check them three ways. Free, blocks secured, and unicorda fully depressed. I have done enough of them, not to be concerned about the quality of the epoxy. If you heat the epoxy it thins and wicks quite well, for a strong bond, plus it sets up faster, to be be usable in 20min. Fast no nonsense field or shop repair. Roger
