Hello again,
I have a couple of old wooden GPs and I’d like to find out what is used to conceal the wood screws that secure the thwart and side benches.
It seems to be some sort of stopper or filler that is reddish in colour I presume to try and make some attempt at blending with the colour of the wood. This stuff has also been used to conceal various securing pins and boat nails that secure the outer rubbing strake or gunwhale.
Has anyone come across either the original product or a suitable replacement?
I was thinking of cutting some hardwood plugs to cover the seat screws but I think that the size of the existing counter sink may make the required plug to big hence the search for some suitable filler.
I have found some terracotta epoxy putty which may do, any suggestions will be gratefully received.
