Ps - if any accidentally lands on the inside of the bore, that would be bad
news, and you should get it off BEFORE it hardens. Have a suitable blunt,
round ended scraping tool (eg a small spatula, or a small blunt knife with a
long blade) ready before you start! If you put too much in the hole, it will
file off easily.
