Bondo to fill holes

Does anyone use Bondo to fill the holes after they put their slugs/weights in?

Thanks Kevin

Not yet I'm going to try it this week though. I have used it to fix rot on two of my window sills three years ago and it has worked great so I figured why not here. Thye make a tube of it already mixed and it reacts to ultraviolet light to harden so you don't even have to mix it and it shrinks very little.

the problem with bondo is that it is NOT waterproof

I use famowood wood putty, it's a solvent base putty

you can use epoxy mixed with wood flour also.
I have some system3 quickfair fair compound that I am gonna try, the only trouble is that it's 2 part, but I know it's waterproof and will hold the weight in tight so that may be worth the trouble.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Try Tagger's plumber's epoxy suggestion. It is a 2 part stick that you cut a piece off of and need in your hands till it turns one color. Compeletly water proof, sands to a fine finish and will bond and seal the hole.
