Most effective way to fill wire holes?

Builder's Forum

My first build was a Wood Duck 10 hybrid.  Not that many holes to worry about. So few that I decided to fill every deck plank hole with wood toothpicks

But with my Chester Yawl, I will have close to 600 holes to fill!

I know ways to do it, but looking for the creative forum crew to give me new ideas that are effective and minimize sanding.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

often successive coats of epoxy and/or epoxy fiberglass will do the trick, but I usuualy slap Famowood into the holes - easy to sand.

On my kayak build I left the wires in and snipped them close to the hull, then sanded them flat (very easy).

They look as little spots of copper.  Better look, I think.
