Hi, I read about this tip the other day and got to try it today. It was on Paul Calder's blog on Sailfeed, he's Nigel's son.
I had a number of screw holes in my anchor locker hatch and cockpit seat lid to pot with epoxy to provide secure holding for the hinge screws. I drilled out all the existing holes with a 5/16" bit, countersunk afterwards and cleaned out any dust and debris. I mixed up a batch of epoxy thickened with colloidal silica and then put that into a ziploc bag with one corner snipped off. The epoxy is squeezed into the holes with the ziploc, much like squeezing icing or batter or something. It worked very well, filling the holes effectively even when dealing with horizontal holes. I'm aware that there are syringes that could do the same thing, but found this was pretty straightforward without anything special to run out and buy. Just thought I'd relay this if it helps anyone.
