>>  Roger,
>>     I purchase a small cutting disc for my dremel yesterday and hope to

>>     My plan is to:
>>      Remove the cement which is causing the bulge,  then I will have to
>>  insert a  thin plastic or metal piece to cover the cement as the
>>  epoxy will not bond directly to the cement effectively.
>>    I will sand the thin plastic down for good adherance  quality and
>>  hope to just fit it under snugly to the surrounding trunk.
>>    any comments/ suggestions??
