What would be the best way for me to fill in button holes in this situation?
bkenobi:
If you have a drill and a local Harbor Freight, you can get a set of hole saws for ~$6. It's not great, but it does work. I've used a set for several years and curse it every time, but it does the job so I haven't replaced it. If you have ~$30, I bet HD, Lowes, or Sears would be a good place to check out (if you are in the states anyway). Sand paper can fix the hole size, but it will take longer than a dremel/die grinder. Harbor Freight probably sells a knock off dremel for ~$10-15.

I'm in Canada actually.
Heh heh, didn't even realize a hole saw was an attachment for a drill until you told me - this is why I gutted an old cab instead of built myself - my knowledge/skills of woodworking is pretty pathetic! :P
Well, I may be making a trip to Home Depot soon, so I'll just pick up a set of hole saws if they're fairly cheap. I have access to a drill. And I'll probably just use sand paper. I have no prob throwing a little elbow grease into a task if it can save me some money.
Thanks again. :applaud:

You can buy button hole plugs from Ozstick (an Australian arcade company)

I took a leaf out of the "chop shop book of car repairs" when doing a similar thing to my cab:
I stuffed the button hole with screwed up paper and used bondo to fill the outside then once it had set, pulled all the paper out and did the same on the inside of the hole - it was the simplest solution that meant I didn't have to get the tools out! :laugh:
Bender:
I just put tape on one side and did bondo in one pass done in 5 min.
Sanded and re-drilled right trough the bondo, great stuff!!!
