Body filler for screw holes

If you're replacing or relocating a door strike plate, use automotive-type body filler to repair the holes or mortise. It also works when relocating any stripped-out screw holes or for repairing rotted wood, etc. After applying, use a Surform plane to level the surface before the filler has dried completely. When it's completely dry sand the surface so it's smooth and repaint to match. HNewmans
