: After I've decided *where* the McMasterCarr studs need to be
: surface-glued, I use the rail as my guide - tip the boat on it's
: side, on sawhorses, put down a few layers of FG cloth, bigger
: than my MC base, saturate with epoxy - and put the MC studs
: directly on top, covered by yet another 'circle' of FG, making a
: sandwich - all while leaving the studs in the railing.
: After it sets up, I generally add a few more 'circles' of FG to the
: sandwich; it's lightweight, and I don't know how you'd remove
: these studs - I believe I could hang a beef from such a setup,
: with no give. Using the rail for alignment has been bulletproof,
: as well.

Yep, I've had no issues using the studs, work well. I got mine from CLC along with some other stuff, at the time they were cheaper there.
