Troll -
thx for your help. I went home last nite and checked the hull side of where the epoxy was. It was clean; meaning the epoxy didn't stick to either surface. Frustrating.
Thx for the drilling encouragement, because I am resigning myself to the idea that it's the only way to go. I never imagined epoxy wouldn't stick. And it seems like even if I used wood as the mounting block, the epoxy isn't sticking to the aluminum. Another complete polymer chain?
I stupidly chucked the mounting screws that came with the block, because, well, I never imagined epoxy wouldn't stick...
Use sheet metal screws? Probably no bigger than 1/8"? 3/16"?
