Garry, Originally, I had set up my wing for the RAF airfoil...then I decided to convert to the AS5046. My center spars were already installed. This conversion required raising the rear spar for the correct incidence. I had already installed the WAF's and had to re-do the lower rear spar WAF's. This was because raising the rear spar also means lowering the rear spar outboard tip to achieve the correct washout. Now, I had to glue a dowel in all the bottom WAF holes on the rear spar and re-drill them. I used T-88 and hardwood dowels. I re-drilled the holes very slowly using a jig and had a perfect match. Absolutely no problems. Take your time, use tight fitting dowels and T-88 and you will be good to go. Be sure that you coat the inside of the bolt holes thoroughly with T-88 prior to installing the dowels. Use a Q-Tip with plenty of T-88 to coat the inside of the holes. Also coat the dowels before inserting them. The majority of the T-88 will ooze out as you push the dowel in and that is ok. You will have a well repaired hole.
