For each screw hole -

Using painters tape, mask off area around hole (1-2" diameter).

Mix up the Locketite. With a disposable syringe (craft store or Amazon), or plastic putty knife, fill the hole just to the top, no more.

Cover the hole with a piece of 2" long piece of clear packing tape to get a smooth surface. If the epoxy spreads wider than the hole, remove tape, wipe off excess, reapply tape.

Let cure. Remove all tape.

For sealant I use Boat Life's Life Caulk. Never silicone.
