In Response To: Ping pong balls (Jay Babina)

: Years ago, some people used ping pong balls cut in half that you glued under
: the opening. You filed a slot on both sides of the ball top half and laid
: in a SS rod piece. Then you used epoxy putty with glass fibers to seal the
: deal.

It's good to know that this option works. It was something that I thought about using and decided not to. Do the half ping pong balls pop out after you're finished? Or do they bond to the epoxy? If they come out easily, they'd be a bit less cleanup.
