ADVANTAGES:
a. 100% contact on uneven surfaces
b. Cheaper to install as no hand fitting is required
c. Don’t corrode and are resistant to most of the chemicals
d. As they achieve good contact, there is little chance of fretting, thus cheaper, shorter,non resilient bolts can be used. These permit a reduction in the bolt tension by a factor of 4
e. Avoid vibrations
DISADVANTAGES:
a. Overstressing of the bolts causes the resin to shatter and break
b. Maximum temperature is limited to about 80°C
