: I'm not quite sure what size of bit I used, but it is a little bit bigger
: than 1/16 as suggested in my Pygmy Canoe manual. What is the best way to
: fill these holes so that I do not get light shining through them? I was
: going to fill them with epoxy thickened with wood flour just before I do
: the saturation coat on the outside of the hull. Any other ideas?

Water based wood filler matched to the proper color is a good solution. You should take a sample of bare wood and filler and epoxy them, to compare color. If you applied a coat of epoxy on the inside of the boat, and the epoxy spread around the inside of the hole, you may get some darkening of the hole outline. My s&g is made of marine grade okume, and an "oak" colored filler worked well.

Good luck,
