[QUOTE="Tinny Fleet, post: 433042, member: 22140"] So here is a pic of some of the holes. The diameter is about 1/4" so I suspect that they are a bit too big to just epoxy (JB Weld) shut, especially since there is no access from underneath. So the surgery I'm thinking about doing is: 1) center punch the holes so they cave inward (downward, gravity-wise) 2) cut aluminum can circles to fit in the very bottom of hole, leaving space on top for 3) Marine Tex or JBweld which can then be 4) Sanded smooth and painted. Thoughts? Thanks to all for comments. [/QUOTE]
