: Hard to pour the epoxy I'd suspect anyway 1/2 way down the length of the

: Like I said, I don't do it that way, I use internal stems that are gooped

Hi Bill et al,
I'm wondering about this end-pour idea. Why pour? Why not do it when the deck is off?
That would allow you to set anything you want in the way of toggle mounting.
