fixing screw holes

[westend1530]

Is there away to fix screw holes in the skin? I know I can put a screw in the hole just to plug it, but there are a few locations that I would rather not do that.

Maybe tap the hole flat and then try to fill it with epoxy or liquid nail. I don't like to use bondo. I just don't know. none of these seems like a good solution

The person that own this trailer before me should have any and all tools confiscated. Everything he did is sloppy and of pore quality.

JB Weld. Just push the edges of the holes in first, so they're "below grade", and you can sand it flat before you paint it.

Make sure there's no paint inside the divot so it'll stick. A little acetone on a rag took the original paint right off mine. JB Weld's a little oozy too, so you might have trouble keeping it from running out of the hole. You might need to mask off below the hole to catch the runs, and use multiple coats to fill it. Or maybe make a little tape "scoop" around the hole to keep it in place.
