[QUOTE="airshot, post: 490516, member: 1183"] I will 3 rd the recomendation to use plywood, the other glued lumber will probably fail when you need it the most. Two plywood layers will be much stronger!! As far as filling in unused holes, the trick is to create a small dent/ recess around the hole, an easy way is to use a ball pein hammer. Strike it hard enough to make a spherical divet around the hole, now the JB weld or other filler will have surface to bite on and stay in place. If you just try to fill the hole itself the material will shrink slightly and loosen or fall out. You need that divet to hold the material you fill the hole with!! sandbit smooth and paint over it, you will never see them.... [/QUOTE]
