Serge, I would squirt epoxy in the holes before inserting the bolts "and" coat the bolts with epoxy. If you only coat the bolts and the holes are snug a lot of the epoxy will be striped off while the bolt is intering the holes and not coat the wood surface in the holes. I didn't just tap the bolts but used a nut driver attached to my portable drill and ran the bolts in while spinning slowing with my drill to help distruibte the epoxy evenly.
