Hello folks,
I have an issue where I had my engine lid/swim deck reupholstered, and I could feel the screws from the brackets holding the gas shocks under the deck punching through. I replaced the screws with smaller ones and the bracket came off, then I moved the bracket over a bit tried bigger screws and same thing, then I filled the void with wood filler, mounted the bracket and it again came off. So now I am thinking of using epoxy to fill up the space and even adding a layer of fiberglass over the top before mounting again. Does anyone have any ideas about this? I was thinking of using liquid wood for the application. Thanks
