Default Stanchion base backing plates

Use West System epoxy, they sell it in two parts, an epoxy and the hardener.
They sell different types of epoxy for different applications, don't know
offhand which epoxy you need. They also sell thickener, you can make the
epoxy whatever consistency you like, from runny to thicker than peanut
butter. Don't be put off by the cost, the stuff has a fairly long shelf
life, you've indicated that you have at least one other use for it on this
particular project, filling the holes. Don't buy the kits in the small
pouches buy the small cans.

Would a 'marine' epoxy be a suitable material? One with 'thick' written

on
the tin? (As opposed to 'thin and runny'.) By 'thick', I take it that

Mooron
means something that would be suitable as a filler, given that the idea is
to fill the gap between a flat plate and a slightly curved ceiling.
