Just a note - My experience is to tape the hole below deck and pour in a small amount of thickened epoxy which does not drip past the tape to form a new epoxy seal or bottom layer when cured and then wet the cored out area and then fill with thickened epoxy.

Also, don't just fill an existing bolt hole. Over dill the hole and ream back any coring. That said, I prefer to mix the epoxy myself. First un-thickened for wetting out, then adding some colloidal silica to thicken for the filling via a syringe. For epoxy, I use either West System 105/205 or East System 1032/833. They are near identical except East costs 1/3 less. - Paul E. 1981 C&C Landfall 38 S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL On Aug 8, 2014, at 11:51 AM, [email protected] wrote: Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 11:46:16 -0400 From: Joel Aronson < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> To: Kevin Driscoll < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]>, " <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]" < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> Subject: Re: Stus-List Re-Bedding / Filling & Drilling w_Epoxy Message-ID: < <mailto:cael16p_z-clsxxvuvgysgb6fr6f-htsqnwb82f99ln6gvr2...@mail.gmail.com> cael16p_z-clsxxvuvgysgb6fr6f-htsqnwb82f99ln6gvr2...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Kevin, I'd use West Six/10 epoxy cartridges. Easy to work with and no waste except for what is left in the tip. Buy lots of tips if you are doing it over several weeks. I don't know if GitRot is strong enough.

I?m going with butyl tape, but wanted to see what folks were using for ?filling and drilling? holes in the deck/core with epoxy, etc. Is *Git Rot* appropriate for this job? I am looking for something easy to work with for when I have a spare hour or two, i.e. less mixing/disposing cleanup the better. Send suggestions and / or links to YouTube videos or other ?How To? sites.
