[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 482641, member: 22989"] Anyway... \:D/ What I like to mix my epoxy with is a flexible machinist scale. They mix epoxy's very well as being flexible you can really scrape up the mix to ensure proper mixing and they make laying the epoxy on thin a breeze. When you apply the epoxy it will come through the back side and form runners like this, just flatten them out to cover the back of the hole and level it out. You can see the squiggly lines where I took an air tool with a carbide burr to the backside of the ones I couldn't access with the drill. I just looked through the holes until the bit blocked them then gave a tiny blast with the burr to make a counter sink but not go through the hull. Im trying to make things better, not worse. :wink: Potato pic.

Use the edge of your scale or scraper to knock these down flat. [/QUOTE]
