Yes to scuffing it up, but Why not just use more epoxy?
Do the screws go thru the face of the spar or in from the top? If through the face, the shim will be clamped by the screws in the end anyway, so I guess it isn't that critical.
I hadn't used the RAKA as an adhesive before, but you're right, that would work fine. The hinge is the HT06 from http://www.teardroptrailerparts.com/, and it appears that the screws go in from the top. However, I don't see a problem with putting a few screws through the face.
Thanks again!
