It eliminates air gaps and extends the bond deeper into the core. You're suggesting I pilot hole and screw into the cured epoxy and not use plastic anchors?

Redrill and use new screws same size as the original. I don't like using thickened epoxy without coating with neat epoxy first. You don't get as good a bond and you may leave gaps. Dennis C.
