If the hole has gotten bigger, I would suggest slapping a little 'glass and expoy over it, wait for it to cure, then redrill the hole. Put plastic tape or something on the inside to prevent epoxy leaking on the inside. Also, don't redrill too large, otherwise you're back at step one. The added layers of glass also make for a beefier hole. You can sand and then put some black tape over to protect it from UV. And in the interest of saving $300, I would practice glassing before embarking on this little project. You should also be able to get more stainless steel push buttons from your manufacturer if the button has shrunk. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
