Step 2Epoxy Top Bolt
Next, take one of the 1/4-20 bolts (same thread for camera tripods) and fit it into one end of the conduit with the threads sticking out as shown. The hex head was slightly too large to fit in the conduit, so I put it in my drill chuck and filed it down until it did fit!
Once the bolt fits in the conduit, figure out how much thread you need to stick out in order to firmly connect your camera. Don't forget to do your test fit with a 1/4" washer in place.
Once you feel you have the correct amount of thread sticking out, epoxy the bolt and washer in place. I placed a dab of epoxy, let it dry, then filled the rest of the cavity in order to avoid messiness. Of course later I realized that I should've just plugged the conduit beneath the bolt (see next step)
