If you can truly fill the tubing with epoxy then yes most epoxies have a high enough shear strength to make good “threads” in. That is a good idea.
I don’t totally understand your pics and don’t know about that particular epoxy but I would get some that is liquid/self leveling to ensure you get it “full”.
I’ve repaired stripped out lag screw holes in boat hulls with epoxy or 3m 5200 on high stress areas like engine mounts and swim platforms.
Your plan is solid. No pun intended lol
Thanks!
Have you ever backed those lag bolts out and back in? Do they grab well? The reason why I'm struggling, is the lag bolts hold my jack brackets in place and I'm not ready for them to be mounted, but I think I need to get the lag bolts into the epoxy before it dries. At least with the epoxy I posted above. It looks strong as heck, but I don't know if the epoxy is designed to have lag bolts put in after it dries.
