Jens Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these can be installed and achieve full strength during wet conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) 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.
