Is there a tutorial or guideline for doing the drill, epoxy, drill method? How much larger than the bolt hole do you drill? What epoxy are you guys using? Do you paint it after? Do you seal around the outside of the bolt after it is in?

Redoing all screw penetrations is cheap insurance if you plan to keep the boat for a long time, and might save or delay need to replace a core. Check out this West Systems Guide section 7.2.1!
