[Alberg30] Stainless Steel Trim piece between toerail and hull

[Robert Kirk]

Mike... What is RTV?   I've always pondered the best thing to do with 
stripped screw holes where, like in this case, you cant very well drill new 
ones.  I've tried glue + sawdust,  jamming toothpicks in, etc.  A problem 
always seems to be that youb want to do it now, and don't want to wait till 
the glue/epoxy dries.
