Tom,
First, thanks for the info, Secondly, after you let it set up for any hour,
how tight did you go with the bolts? I mean 'gently snugging' to me may be
too tight :)
I just assume that you hand tightened the bolts down initially and then
after the one hour set time you used a socket/ratchet to further tighten
them down, but they bolts were not 100% tight, correct? Thanks again,
