Coring!

There is a very simple way to glue a straight core into a straight bore using epoxy and guaranteeing there will be ZERO voids or "dry spots". This method is used in a different industry with 100% success rate.

Any chance anyone knows this method tw is speaking of?

Also if there were voids,pockets the glue didn't make it to, what does it lead to?

A undersided Feel of hit?
Clueless here but wanting to know

Have no idea what TW is talking about. I assume dry spots could lead to hit issues. I have done some experimenting coring to a blind hole with west system. With the cored wood standing up with a half inch or so of the thin epoxy at the bottom and a grooved core you slowly work it down to the bottom as the glue rises to the top and spits out the seam. I built and cut up a couple mock ups and there were not any dry spots I could find. I am using a hole .006 over sized from the core which fills with glue as the glue rises up the relief grooves and you twist. Not saying this is better than gorilla glue but I was experimenting for myself and liked the result. No doubt someone with much more experience than myself will be along to tell me how silly this is and whatever technique they use is faster, simpler and better as the wheel has already been invented since they were building cues before I was born. Oh well it's fun playing.
