philo426 Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted April 9, 2017 I wonder if I should get a forstner bit and inlay the brackets into the surface. Canute and Eddie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robnbill Posted April 9, 2017 Share #4 Posted April 9, 2017 I have found inlaying them slightly does several things, if fitting tightly to the base of the brackets, it looks great and second, it provides a tiny bit of more support overcoming the slight slop of the screw through the bracket, and lastly, it also allows you to add epoxy under the bracket attaching the bracket to the base.

mtaylor Posted April 9, 2017 Share #6 Posted April 9, 2017 Phil, Check online. You can then order (if in stock) and they'll pull it and have it waiting for you. However, if they're really busy it may take them several hours. But just check online first as it might save you a trip.
