Fill the keel bolt holes?
The traditional way of filling partially with red lead and drifting in
wooden plugs is still the best because access to the bolts is easily acheived when required. The plugs can be glued, cut off and faired then drilled out whenever it is required. Steve "lupi" wrote in message ... Ahoy, I'm using the last of our decent days to do the bottom of a fiberglass keel boat. The bottom of the keel section is wood which is bolted to a partial keel of fiberglass. (some kind of add-on from a previous owner, I think). The bottom of the keel has empty plug holes where the bolt heads are visible. The nut and washer arrangement is in the bilge. I would like to fill the holes outside, at the bottom of the keel to make it more fair. Would W. Marine marine bondo be the thing? I'm sure the keel is tight and not about to move. Thanks as always. |
