Large stitch holes
By:John Paul Burke

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?

Try toothpicks or "pencil points"
