More good points!

I'm actually thinking about just 5200'ing the rims in, and leaving the bolts out. Thinking is why make holes that then have to be gasketed, and if I put the bolts back in the wet 5200, I'll sure as heck never get them out, even if I manage to wire-cut the rims loose at some future need. If I am going to do that, what do you think about just screwing the lids in, very careful to get none of the goo on the threads, and just use the lids to maintain the alignment, just set weights on the lid and wait for the cure?
