I like it! 1" dia x 4" long = 3 cu in = 2 fl oz.


The overall piece is 12" and this is a retrofit kit to existing
customers, too? Would take a plug inserted unless going to fill whole
thing. Cost of even a cheap epoxy??

Anyway, I'd wonder if they wouldn't be better off financially to just
scrap current inventory and go to a stiffer piece unless there's a very
large number in stock it could end up being cheaper than the
retrofit...unless they think this is really a long-term solution which I
wouldn't think would be the case, surely?
