Last year, I drilled out the old screw holes (made bottom of hole wider than the top). I coated "pre-cut to length dowels" in "Marine Tex" and inserted. Then I dabbed some marine tex over the hole and wiped clean with a rag and mineral spirits, I let dry over night. I Drilled a small pilot hole into the dowel when the "Marine tex" dryed, I screwed back in the "Railing", It's still "Rock solid" !
Are "You" at all "Concerned" that "Wood" might "Rot" if "Water" gets in the "Dowel" "Holes" "Past" the "Sealant" at "Some" point in the "Future?"
I've got some railing screws to attend to and am unsure if doweling or epoxy filling is the way to go.
