Not an expert but I would mix a thickened batch of epoxy loaded with cab-o-sil and chopped glass, trowel it in place then set a fitted waxed-paper wrapped piece of stiff, flat, plastic on top, bored for the bolt holes, fitted to bilge, and spin on the the keel bolt until you get some squeeze out.

Well, there aren't any absolute answers. Some solutions are just better than others. I like epoxy for injecting, flowing and uneven surfaces. It is much less viscous than most putties. It fills voids if you don't mix it too thick. Like many of us listers, the best technique is to coat the adher
