[TowerTalk] Tower Base Bolts and Epoxy

[Mickey Baker]

Bill and all,

My crank up is bolted to three 3/4" diameter lengths of all-thread held in
place in 7/8" holes (prepared as specified by the manufacturer) using
Simpson Strong Tie two part construction adhesive. I used the two tubes and
dual-caulk gun type device with the mixing nozzle. Worked out perfectly.
The bond is stronger that the steel.
