I've removed my external wooden coachroof grab rails for varnishing. Unfortunately some of the screws had been replaced with stainless steel ones that had rusted enough to stick in the wood and shear as I tried to unscrew them. I had to drill out the remains of the screws from the wood so have been left with irregular holes. They don't go right through the rails.
Three of what must have been original screws (bronze I suspect) came out easily.
My questions are:
What could I fill the holes with that would be strong enough for holding with screws when replaced (and unscrewed in the future if needed). They are hidden so colour etc doesn't matter. I suspect some kind of epoxy might do. Is it sandable and strong enough for someone swinging on it?
Where can I get 4 1/2" bronze woodscrews?
Cheers
