My experience with epoxy for cleats/etc, is the material your bonding to will break/fail before the connection/epoxy will assuming the surfaces are prepped and cleand correctly.

One thought on the thickener/cabosol is this creates a VERY hard/brittle mixture. I have moved to wood flour instead of cabosol for most of what I am doing now. It is just as strong, but is more flexible, and in boats, I am finding flexible is a good thing, expecially if your connecting to flexible surfaces such as fiberglass. Just my 2 cents.
