    Default Re: Epoxy Bolt Kits for Diving Board Bases

    I've only used them once, but they worked for at least 3 years (could have been longer, but I moved after 3 years so don't know if the ones I installed are still good)

    Just to make sure we're on the same page, the one's I'm talking about had a bolt encased in a 'test tube' - you drill the appropriate size hole, pop in the test tube end and whack the bolt with a hammer to activate/ mix the epoxy - then wait for the epoxy to harden and install the base.

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries

    Those are the ones I was talking about. Thanks for the reply, but I just found a base that matches mine exactly. I've been searching for a couple of weeks and I had given up hope. The base was 30 years old, and I didn't think there was any way that I would find one that matched. Luckily a came across one searching about the epoxy bolt kits. Go figure.

    Glad you found a matching base!

    Remember to pick up a little graphite paste, or similar, to help keep the threads on the bolts in good shape - or you'll end up having to use the epoxy bolts anyway
