Alternative to Korkers...

I have a pair of Cabelas lightweight boots--felt soles w/places to screw in studs. I put Wearbars in and they're holding up well. You would think the boots are too clunky to swim in, but I manage OK. I also have a pair of Korker Torrents and a pair of the original lace on sandal types. I like the Cabelas modified w/Wearbars the best of the 3.

Guys,
Need to ask for more insight, especially from those who like ivanputski used epoxy on their wearbars.
I re-did my wearbars using the washers and used marine epoxy on the threads. Here's my question.
Did those of you who did this find that the epoxy "greased" the threads so that they wanted to keep spinning even after the screw was fully embedded?
The first time I put my wearbars in without epoxy they grabbed the felt and when fully sunk in became completely tight. Even after a few weeks of hard wear when some studs loosened a little, I could screw them back in tightly.
When I re-did them today I drilled them into virgin felt but with the epoxy they still spun after being fully threaded. I'm hoping once they're fully cured that they'll hold fast but I'm a little concerned.
What say you??
Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew - could be that you drilled too wide of the stud shank? Is it spinning after the epoxy dried was removed? Which epoxy are you using?
