Hmmm. I'd maybe clean the grease off completely, final wipe with lacquer thinner.
Then just fill the hole with automotive type silicone gasket sealer.

I tried that Stwood but wasn’t very successful. It’s being a real pain in the rear. I just thought that maybe some type of small rubber gasket under the head of the bolt might work. Now to find the rubber! ?

Can you seal the hole from the other side w/ JB Weld or some other two-part epoxy product?

I think I got it. I used some shrink tubing that I use on solder joints and put a couple of layers around the head of the bolt. So far so good. I guess I just had to ask the question to make myself start to think outside the box.

Never would have thought of that as a solution, but if it works, good for you. An "0" ring might also help.

All I had to do was post it on Woodnet and then I got smarter for some reason!
