S&G: Imbedding hardware...

I want to have a couple of padeyes at the bow and stern onf my Cirrus for a deck line. As there is no way I'd be able to reach these areas after the deck goes on I'd like to imbed a couple stainless washers and nylock nuts before.

I've already predrilled the holes (oversize), filled with epoxy, drilled to size and attached the hardware. I'm thinking now that I'll goop up the hardware with an epoxy, cabosil and wood flour mix. I'll then lay a patch of glass over that.

Will this setup be able to endure the removal and re-attachment of the screws for finishing?

Any other suggestions??

Best, Dave
