My DOKA bed has many 1/4" holes from when some Clever Charlie pop riveted the battens down to the bed. Now I want to fill the holes and make them flush with the bed before I make new battens of an original, and if I may say so, cunning design... So, I don't want to weld- burns the paint on the back side I can't reach. I tried JB Weld, but it is thin and drips through. Remember, I can't always reach the underside so I can't just tape below and putty above. I tried JB Weld because I may wish to drill/thread later on. If I install pop rivets, and then grind them down, I have holes again. There must be a simple and elegant way. ed- holier than thou? |
