Title: Oil Soaked Wood
Post by: GAWnCA on February 24, 2008, 11:05:37 AM: Ok, what do you have to do to fill small holes in wood that has some oil soaked into it? I hope I don't have to cut it out and replace it for #10 screw holes.

I guess I can do that to some of them. Later on this year I need to get serious about the glass work and clean up this little Miller needs. Then it's on to a complete paint job.

The stringers are going to be fun and I may have to move the motor one way or the other or replace the Hardin Marine mounts with rails. The holes the mounting bolts went through are in pretty bad shape. I did relocate the new ones I drilled but it's only a temporary fix.
