Does the humidity at areas like exit 32, 38, or index tweak em' on the instillation? I've heard some evidence along those lines like they are best for dry climates or low humidity days?

 

Mfg part specific: but no, check link #3. Some of these can be installed and achieve full strength during wet conditions.

Of course.

 

BTW, Gorilla Tap seems to be the schizz to keep the glue in. I suppose you could use Orings as well, but any overrun glue would still be a visible mess, whereas you can rip the tape off when the glue dries and have a clean look on the rock.
