Thanks guys. I went to Harbor Freight. The 90 degree chuck was too big but they had a flexible angled adapter for hex shafts. I bought that and drill bits with the hex end. Then to Home Depot where I bought semi rigid 1/2 od PVC pipe. I'll have about 9 feet left over but it was only a few bucks. Now I need time and warmer weather. I'll let you know how I make out.

I'd like to insure no voids so I prefer to remove the tubing after the epoxy is hard, and fill any voids and smooth the hole. It may work to wax the tubing before using the epoxy.

I did drill the hole on the aft end of the stringer to start. NOTE, that stringer is not solid. There is a void in it. It is built more like a box. I don't have any idea how big the space is or what damage could be done if it gets water in there. That is why I had the yard do the work. My understanding from talking with the guy that actually did it was that what he did was very similar to what Chuck describes. You can't just drill a big hole and fill it with epoxy as the void is huge. The yard epoxied in a hard plastic tube about the diameter of a Sharpie (not the point, but the body of the pen).
