Stripped screw holes
Is there any product available that can be used to repair stripped screw holes in laminated body panels? Thanks, Terry

Rivnuts work great for sheet metal, but this is on the laminated body. Way too thick for a rivnut and too fragile for one to seal. I am going to test some JB weld.
I have used the wooden matches seal with Hot-Melt glue, but they tend to loosen up.
Maybe a combination of JB Weld and Matches will do the trick. I will keep you posted.

Rivnuts are available for ANY material thickness. In a fiberglass sidewall, all that is necessary is for you to drill out the hole to get a solid round shape. Rivnuts are used regularly in fiberglass boats and many materials other than sheet metal. If you are really concerned about their holding ability, use some JB Weld around the Rivnut when it is clamped into place.
