: I have no doubt the oversized, epoxy-filled holes are strong, but
: they are also more work than unnecessary and slightly unsightly.
: Simply make each hole the final desired size and give it two
: coats of epoxy, sanding lightly between coats. My 7 and 8 year
: old boats are still perfect with this simple approach.

Hi John,

Actually I used black tinted epoxy to fill my oversized holes and like that look, but you have to look pretty carefully to tell I do it that way as it's the same color as the strap.
