What do do with "pimples"...
« on: May 06, 2010, 12:36:51 pm »
There are a couple of spots on my cab that have "dimples" due to someone using longer screws(I'm assuming)

Any remedy? Take a sander to em???

I guess I should clarify....they are more like "pimples", rather than actual divets....

They "bumped out" the laminate

if you back them out again, you might be able to use a soft face hammer to knock them back again.

replace with shorter screws of course
