Hi Matthew, I love the idea of having a more structurally sound bedding material for the backing plates. This is probably a stupid question - would the microballoon mixture be a replacement for the 4200? Or is there a way to bed the plates with the microballoon mixture, get the them back up again without ruining the new surface, and bed again with a layer of 4200?
