your method after I responded. Granted, what I described can be
messy. One needs to be judicious with the epoxy. Preheating =
the
epoxy after mixing allows it to be drizzled into place, and speeds up =
the cure
which can be helpful. Clean up is easy with a sharp chisal when the =
epoxy
reaches a stiff gum state; acetone to follow, but be careful not to wash =
out the
cracks.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
