wood filler

[FergusM]

I have bought an old wooden GP14 to sail in the local loch of an evening. The wood filler plugging the screw holes is coming adrift. What mahogany coloured wood filler would you recommend? I will be finishing the decks with Le Tonkinois, which gives a nice hard-wearing finish (I use it on the woodwork on my Albin Vega), so the filler will be 'on view'.

Maybe Brummer Stopper - you can mix it or dye it to get the right colour before using. Available from Axminster & many others

Find a clear (waterproof) glue, then get a bit of mahogany and a belt sander... Mix resulting dust with some of the glue to create an approprately coloured goo....
I've found the above works quite well, try it somewhere less obvious first if unsure about the colour..
