TECH - Filling trim holes.. EASIEST CHEAPEST WAY

That's okay, just try to be more careful in the future.

Unfortunately, NOW I gotta shoot a PM to Pir*Daryl that "cheese puff and underwear" comment really hit home. The kids were reading it, got kinda distrought....looks like they might need counseling now.

Im off to my garage!

 

we now return to our regularly scheduled program....

 

people use nails to fill trim holes? are you f'ing kidding me?

I say just fill the small holes without putting something in there. this is the silliest idea I have ever seen.

anything larger than say 1/4" use a sheetmetal plug.

 

exactly.

 

You counted them all?

 

I've used the nail trick and the s**** trick and seriously a copper s**** works the best for me. I have a 2ft length of 1/4" x 9-16" flat stock copper hammered and bent at one end for the s**** and scroll handle at the other. With it's length and flexability it can really get into tight spots around firewalls and behind panels. I haven't checked but maybe a electrical grounding piece at a hardware store might work. **** use a pluming pipe. I've welded alot of holes before I tried this. It's nice if you want a clean weld on the back of the panel, which I don't know why anyone wouldn't, even with an unfinished backside its easy to seal rather than any sharp steel portruding if you can't grind it.

 

The easiest way to fill holes is with masking tape, electrical tape, if the car is black. Question: If you use nails to fill in the holes on your car, how do you pick your nose?

 

What rockabillyrodder said is the easiest for small holes. Back it up with a piece of copper and weld it up...fast, easy, and cheap.

 

What size nail do you use?

I use drywall screws

So let me get this straight... You take the shear t*******s and you nail them into the holes with a copper pipe after you've killed your family with them...

OK, got it.
