James,
Do you have machine screws and barrel nuts or wood screws holding on the grab rails?

I need to move the handrails outboard, and want to reuse the old handrails, so my problem is drilling new holes that will either line up with existing screw holes in the rails, or plug the old holes and redrill (easiest I think). So here is the problem, what do you plug the holes in teak with, that will keep the wood strong, and won't force a drill bit off to the side when it hits it. Is fiberglass with milled fibers the way to go? Or teak dust and epoxy as a filler? Thanks in advance. Jim, "Tequila Chica" Dana Point, CA
