I drain mine enough to catch fish, not draining to mount frags -lol

Epoxy is my fave for mounting, just set and forget.

Who? Me? I think u were referring to some other Asian guy... We all look the same.

However, you are right... I cut everything off and then remount the frag on new plugs and let them sit on the rack until I know where to epoxy them.
