Negative......immediately after application of product to each hole, the nasty dark crud came pouring out down the sloping deck (I could not keep up with paper towels as you can see from the residue...you have to keep your gloved finger over the end of the applicator tube between hole squirts (again per instructions) while releasing thumb lever pressure on the gun...and be quick to the next hole before the product in the tube begins to solidify), some holes only a few seconds to clear crud with foam balls, some holes took a minute or two to clear before the foam balls appeared. 2 holes belched crud for almost 5 minutes before the ball appeared! With almost 100 degree sun beating down on the deck for a week, I was amazed the amount of moisture that belched out. I guess it depended upon how much moisture there was below each drilled hole. 1-1/2 clicks may have been too much for some holes as the balls were large baseball size...others, golf ball size. All pure white.1911tex did you mash around through the holes with a coat hanger wire before injecting?
I did not use a drill stop...it is obviously very clear when you exit the thin top deck layer into the balsa pocket...no problem there what so ever.When I spoke the the injectadeck guy he suggested drilling all holes then rooting about with a hanger in them before injecting. I expect as bad as my deck is there will be no solid matter to break up.
About how far did you drill? I am thinking of setting a drill stop.
I just finished "epoxy potting" about 100 holes in our deck. It turns out that a small hex key with the short ended shortened up to about 3/8" is perfect to chuck up and grind out the balsa from around the new half inch hole drilled in the top. For a drill stop I used a piece of one inch dowling, drill pressed for my half inch bit. Works perfect. Using several stops of differing length, I could set depth perfect for a square "Forstner" style flat end bit to go right to the inside glass layer and no further.When I spoke the the injectadeck guy he suggested drilling all holes then rooting about with a hanger in them before injecting.
