Re: Swim platform repair
Also, did you fill the holes with epoxy before using the caulk/sealant? If not, my advice would be to re-drill out the holes, put some backing tape on the underside, and fill the holes with epoxy. Once the epoxy cures you can finish the topside to match. Caulk by itself does not work well to seal holes drilled through, and that can lead to water intrusion into the core and eventually cause the core to fail.
