I repeated the above step with the other gauntlet half, and voila! Hand-tightening the screws should prevent the resin and fiberglass from cracking, splitting, or stripping in the screw the holes.

Now to slice off the screw ends sticking out of the show side. Don your protective gear!

Working slowly and allowing the cutting disc to do the work, slice off the ends. You may gouge into the resin, but we're going to need to putty and smooth these bits anyways. No big deal.

The screw ends are now cut roughly flush with the gauntlet surface. I used a grinding bit on the dremel to further smooth and actually dish out the screws themselves.

Back at home, I started working on the magnet side of these gauntlets. I picked up some rare earth magnet bars from an online store and roughed up one side of them. This gives the epoxy something to stick and bite into.
