As to the bolt/glue question, just put wax on them before you laminate, and they will back right out. I have never had a problem with this method. If you are nervous about the wax, use McLube (available at West Marine) which is a dry film lube. Coat the screws, let dry for a few minutes, and then let the glue fly.

I have used both methods with great success.
