: I agree with Bill on this one. I haven't done an end-pour in 6
: years. I use stem blocks and partial sheer clamps to bond the
: deck to the very ends.
: =D

I hire tiny little elves off-season to climb up there and spread out the epoxy. They're hard working little fellas and they work for 1/4 of what a big person charges.

LOL

Okay, actually I do the internal stem, but I always did a small endpour to be sure that I got coverage all the way to the end. I read Jay's hot-melt glue method long ago but never tried it. I think next build I'll avoid the endpour.
