pst62 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi all, I need to drill new holes in a neck heel, the neck has been previously used by myself, can anyone point me in the direction of a good filler to fill the old holes? Any help would be great Regards, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Pretty sure that dowels and wood glue would do the job better than a filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Filling the old holes with wooden dowel rod of a suitable diameter seems to be the recommended method [url="http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=545881"]http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=545881[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus x-1 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 have read that those dowels you get with plat pak furniture or new kitchin units are very good for this job with a little PVA glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
