coming into dock today, the wind caught me and slammed me into a
piling...popped a few screws on the rail stanchion posts where they
hit the deck.

was thinking of just putting some wood into the holes, sealing them
with adhesive/sealant and replacing the screws.

any better methods? getting to the holes from under the deck is damn
near impossible

How big are the holes? Putting wood in them? - they must be huge. Post
a photo if you can, but I think you need some epoxy.


i thought about wood, but will probably go with the epoxy. holes
aren't big...they're the standard screws used to hold a stanchion post
to the deck. no sign of damage to the deck itself so i assume the
stanchion lifted straight up and pulled out the screws
