Default Re: Drill oversize holes- fill with epoxy - how ?

ABL-


Basically, you drill the hole a size or two larger than what you need and then you fill it in with a epoxy/cabosil mix. You want the epoxy to be thick like peanut butter so that it stays in place......be sure to force it in the hole with a spreader. Than take a piece of wax paper slightly larger than the hole and tape over it with duct tape. That will make sure that an epoxy does not spill out. Let cure for a day or two than redrill the hole to the appropriate size.
