ex Elly 197 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I have removed a cleat from my mast. Found 4 extra bolt holes underneath. What is the best treatment for these holes? Fill with screws or rivets, or use epoxy or similar filler? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LBD 128 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Threaded holes?.. find or make aliunium screws, locktite them in the sand flush before painting over... do not use any dissimilar metals if it can be avoided 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
