Your giving up way too easy. Here is what you can do. Get yourself some thin super glue some 400 and 600 grit wet /dry sandpaper and some exam...
LOL Tedolph is right, it doesn’t matter much what you do. Going on three years now, I thought heck what would happen if I did NOTHING but use it...
First off you don't have to put anything in there. Just coat the inside of the hole with a thin layer of epoxy to waterproof it then apply epoxy...
Don't try it. It will catch with possible disastrous results. If you must clean it out use a small sanding drum. If the new knot will fit as is...
