Greetings all,
I’m a long time lurker on the forum, a relatively new member, and the owner of a very new-to-me GB 36’ classic (1989). On the TLC punch list is repairing numerous holes in the salon teak from mounting several generations of electronics. The holes are typically small (most less than 1/8”) but it looks in a couple of places like there once was a woodpecker hostel…
My options seem to be:
1. Replace the affected panels, or
2. Drill, plug, and refinish, or
3. ??
I’d really appreciate wisdom/suggestions for the third category. Has anyone had success in using filler for smallish holes? (Success here meaning visually clean and with good mechanical stability.) Another option that suggests itself is putting a clean veneer layer over the panel. Has anyone taken that route?
Thanks in advance!
