Hello:
I need some advise on what the best and strongest way to attach a metal base (stainless steel or chrome plated brass) to a fiberglass surface without using through bolts. There is little to no potential room to access the undersurface to attach lock washers and nuts to bolts or even a backplate to increase the strength of the base to be used for the teak wood flagpole. I’m wondering if there might be a type of stainless steel toggle bolt that could be used for such an application. If that might not be possible, would it be a bad idea to use simple screws and some additional epoxy glue to secure the base in this process? Any advise would be appreciated.
