Filling drill holes?

Loading...

Here's a pic of some of the holes I'd like to fill in on the 18" bass and the rest of the kit it goes with. Let's see, it's a pre DW Camco/Tama!

Nice kit! You can do those from the outside, the toughest part would be matching the finish, not my expertice. I took some pics today, I'll work on getting them posted by tomorrow.

Hey Jaye, What do you use to cut the shell material for the patch? I need to cut some wrap to fill a hole on my pink kit.

Jaye, wish I had some old maple shell material but I don't. I can buy some maple boards at home depot and cut the plugs I suppose?? The holes are are 3/8" sold too big for plastic wood.

What say you?
