Mustang65 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Any suggestions on filling a widened out strap button pilot hole? Previous owner widened hole to fit makeshift button and I'mrestoring back to original. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Bort it out smooth, then plug it with a dowel. Cut the dowel, sand it even with the body, then you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 easier is glue a decent splinter of wood into the hole and re screw the end pin in a match is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bygde Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I saw a tip around here somwhere that you could fill the hole with a little epoxy, but only on the walls of the hole. That means you don't have to redrill the hole afterwards, and it will last a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_ado Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 yeah i think packing matches is pretty conventional just glue them in there and redrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
