What would be the best way for me to fill in button holes in this situation?

Thanks for that. Had a look though, and the fact that they're a bit domed kinda bothers me - I want this to look and feel like the holes were never there as much as it possibly can.

Sanded and re-drilled right trough the bondo, great stuff!!!

Now that looks nice! And the fact that you could drill through it and have it look that nice seems to indicate that it's strong. Is Bondo just a brand name of wood putty? I do have some wood putty that I used to touch up some chipped out spots on my cab. It did seem to dry pretty hard, but to me it seems like it would just break apart if I tried to drill a hole through it. Maybe I'm wrong. I guess I'll give it a try. The worst that could happen is that it doesn't work too well and I'll have to just go buy some bondo.

Thanks for all the help guys!
Bender:
Bondo is NOT wood putty but a two part epoxy
wood putty sucks
Bondo Rocks!
Marsupial:
Bondo is an automotive filler, its used to fix rusted cars. :tool:



I would put a wooden dowel, and fill with bondo. Let it set, sand, prime, paint, it won't show at all. Unless you do a crappy job :P :soapbox: :applaud:
Beretta:
wow that CP looks great, i've heard bondo suggested several times in the past.

how thin can you get it? i mean could you fill tiny gaps with it? i was under the impression it's a fairly "thick" stuff to work with.. can it be used to fill in small gaps.

also where is the best place to buy it? you have to mix it up right?
Bender:
I've filled pretty small cracks with it, but maybe not hairline probably a 64th or bigger would be fine
