[QUOTE="MinnowFaces, post: 298326, member: 10795"] Wow. Those are some big holes. I don't know the "right" way to fix them, but if it were mine, I think I'd rivit some new same gauge tin on the back. I'd put a bead of 3M marine sealer around the perimeter of the patch before putting it on, as well as around each hole. Then I'd fill the holes with JB using the new tin as a backing and sand smooth & paint. I'm no tin expert, but that's how I'd try to attack it without spending a lot of $. Oh, I sealed the edge of my plywood with wood sealer. Several coats. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
