How to Fix Bashed Bolts (Patreon)
Content
If bolts are damaged or there are mistakes or in order to leave less trace, it can be nice to bury an old hole under the P of a new glue in you are installing. We tested in this video if "too much epoxy" was bad as the recommendation is just to use only a small amount. It is better to use the right size hole as it saves a ton of glue but we wanted to know if it was super good enough if you didn't. Spoiler Alert: Our tests showed it was fine.
All tests were done with Liquid Roc 500
