No, I thought the nut was thicker than it was and filed it down to where it is more like a thin washer. The machine screw is a filister head and the nut is a thumb nut. If I find a nut, I think I can drill the hole deeper and retain enough threads on the nut for the screw to take purchase. Or I think I might be able to find a new matching screw and thumb nut and just drill the hole for the nut a littler deeper.
My alternative thought was to use the epoxy to fill the hole and use the epoxy as the nut, by replacing the machine screw with a filister head wood screw.
Any ideas you have would be appreciated - either private message or in the forum.
