I'm working with a deck fitting that I'd rather screw into the deck (with 1/4" machine screws) than through-bolt. I've over-drilled the holes and am ready to fill with thickened epoxy. What's the preferred method for threading the holes; lube up the screws and insert them into the wet epoxy or drill and tap the threads after it hardens?
I'm afraid if I screw up the first method I'll never get the screws back out.
