Hi Brett,

Thanks, I followed your advice and filled the wire holes. It didn't take long at all. I remember reading a post some time ago where someone was having leaking problems through wire holes and would rather not experience this. I have also come to the conclusion that the spot on my rear deck may have been unthickened epoxy or resin I sanded it lightly and it all but disappeared, I don't think that it will be a problem.

Thanks again for your response,

Ken

: hello ken,
: i don't know if this is the correct response, so take it for what's it worth.
: what i did with my stitch holes is fist go over them w/ unthicked expoxy, and
: then about 24 hours later i took a cheap plastic putty knife and applied a
: tiny amount of thickened epoxy over each hole. don't worry, it takes no
: time at all and very little resin. i used west system miro-ballons. easy
: sanding stuff, i think it was nine bucks for a can that faired out my
: entire boat.
: hope this helps, post pics when you can.
