    What type of filler for small holes?

    Hey everyone

    What type of filler is best to use on the deck for small holes?
    With plenty of time on my hands over the next few weeks might be good to get cranking on the boat again,

    Are you after a timber look finish or just a fill. Also what is the diameter of that hole.

    U could probably make a nice epoxy resin with wood flour fancy word for mixing in sawdust with epoxy resin, back the hole with some tape than fill her in

    Turn it to the left 90deg Noel, it looks like a steering wheel in the background? Might make more sense then

    Hey mate just a fill does not need to be a timber finish, numerous holes all different sizes 1 hole 60mm, A handful of 42mm and the majority are 25mm.

    Any recommendations on types/brands etc would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers for the input too

    DNR - Does Not Respond - often people post a query never to be heard from again. I guess with CV19 keeping a lot more people at home the waiting for a poster to respond can become a bit frustrating.

    The bigger holes around 60 mm, just get a hole saw and cut out a plug which you can then epoxy in place, 2 part builders bog will do. The smaller ones just place something behind the holed and fill with the same builders bog, on vertical surfaces you may want to do it in layers although BB doesn't sag much.
