NE Dory Stitch Holes Filled

Hello!

First-timer working on an NE Dory. I’ve done the bulkheads and am working my way through the panels. While I’m waiting for them to dry, I’m looking ahead at stitching the hull.

It looks like I’ve been a little over-zealous with epoxying the bulkheads. The squeeze-out has covered some of the stitch holes. I’m assuming I should drill these out with a small bit. Any tips/tricks/warnings for this?

Thanks!

Nope. Just drill straight with a bit big enough to let the wire pass and long enough to go through the wood and epoxy.
