^^^^^^^^^^^^
You are trying to mix the epoxy inside the hole, beside the bolt? That's
not a good way. You will never get it properly mixed. Mix it on a flat
surface with a spatula--THOROUGHY--and then stuff it into the hole. Best to
partially fill the hole, also coat the eyebolt threads with mixed epoxy, and
then push the eyebolt into the hole. Be prepared to wipe or scrape off the
excess as it flows out of the hole. You might want to put masking tape on
the surface around the hole, so after it's cured, it is easy to pick off the
overflow.
