[QUOTE="dearl, post: 427236, member: 1760"] Welcome, Nice project! The pits are from corrosion, and before you fill the hole you need to kill the corrosion, or else it will continue to eat your boat. Mix a spray bottle 50/50 with muriatic acid and water, spray the area liberally, use a stainless brush to work it in to the holes. Use the necessary safety equipment, gloves, glass's etc. Let this work no more than 5 minutes, then rinse really good with plenty of water. That's it, let it dry then you can use JB thinned with acetone to fill in the voids. Sand flush, then primer with zinc chromate (self etching primer). Once the corrosion is removed its important to primer the area or the corrosion will begin again eventually. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
