Skin-on-Frame: Filling stitch holes
By:Sean Dawe
Date: 8/27/2011, 11:04 pm

I am in the process of stitching my Gentry Disko Bay with 8 oz polyester. Some of the stitches have made pulled the fabric and made holes. Nothing too serious but probably more than can be filled by paint. Any suggestions on how to fill them? I am painting the boat black so I could just use some black Goop. Or should I fill the holes with something (paintable) prior to painting?

All comments and suggestions are appreciated,

Sean
