    Can you comment on “hide-a-butts” rather than butt blocks? Butt blocks seem to be the source of leaks down the road, but I’d value your opinion? And I’ve only seen/used “hide-a-butts” in repairs/rebuilds.

      By hide a butts I’m assuming you mean scarfed and epoxied?
      What we’re doing here is trying to keep as traditional as possible.
      Thank you.
