small holes like that can be done a few ways.

#1 and best way, Formula 27, fill and sand, Marine Tex will also be fine!!

#2 Take a Golf T put in resin hamer into the hole, let dry, cut end off. Great to fix screw holes in deck also!


#3. 5200 will work fine. (make sure to put 5200 on new screws)

Don't forget, immediately after applying two part epoxy such as Marine Tex, wet it (water or spit works best) and smooth out the repair to avoid lots of sanding.

I like MJ's golf tee idea, seeing as how I've got 20,000 of them sitting in front of me ;D

It works great for screw holes in the deck and stuff! I have even used them in my house for worn door hinge holes, gule hammer cut rescrew works out great!!
