: Hi Reg,

: On cheapo dinghys I've built in the past I've used bondo that works fine,
: bonds ok to the wood and the epoxy covers it just fine.

: Downside is the filler in automotive bondo is talc and it sucks up water like
: a sponge, so the filler needs to be carefully sealed with epoxy so that
: water can't get to it.

Oh yeah, one of those dingys is now over 20 years old, still holding up just fine.
