   Can you tell me what is the type of Epoxy here? I live in Israel, and I don't know if i can get it, but maybe according to the ingredients, a European replacement is available. Thanks.  Dov

   Bondo is auto body putty.There are many different brands that will work to fill holes.

   thanks but will I be able to enter the threaded spindle into the hole filled with it so it hardens around it? I built some houses years ago where we drilled into the concrete platform and we lowered bolts into the epoxy filled hole. It was grey and very viscous, hardened well.   dov

   let the putty set up. then drill the hole size required. if you need to, use a washer(s).

   Okay, so letting it set around the threading isn't the way to do it.I figured to disturb the bonding would be bad, so I thought to let it set wet would be better. thanks. I appreciate it.   dov

   I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish.  I started a thread in the recent past about the post on our railing, which is anchored to the floor by a threaded stud; the post has to be rotated to tighten it up.  Obviously, being a square post, with a railing attached, it can only be turned in increments of 360 deg.  Which is idiotic.  I'm going to switch to one of those post anchors that uses a saddle and a nut....if I can find my thread wherein I received much useful advice, I'll edit it in here. 

   But then again, maybe I'm doing something totally different from you.....

   edited to add:  41420 is the thread that I had.

   Hi. The stairs are concrete, and the bannister posts are loose. Thought I'd fill the holes with epoxy, or like you say, I could go with saddles. It's just that they are ugly. I don't even know what epoxy is available here in Israel, tho we do get certain brands.  thanks.  dov
