Fixing some holes

[D1nman]

Ive got some small holes drilled in my console side pieces, about as big as a 3.5mm headphone jack. I want to cover them up, i know to sand them down but how do i fill them? i was then planning on dying the pieces

 

[ScottyBoy]

;Bondo? That's what I would probably use.

 

[barrrf]

Yup - body filler.

 

[HankScorpio]

Yes filler not bondo filler is glass bondo is just for skim coating

and i would put a piece of tape on the outside and aplly from the inside, so that you have minimal sanding if any at all.

Don't you mean tape the inside and apply from the outside?


I would glue some pieces of plastic to the inside and run a thin coat of filler over the hole. Tape will stay flexible and the filler could crack in time.

 

[Ginger]

nope i ment from the inside, if you apply the tape on the outside, and then put the filler in from the inside, when you peel the tape away after it has dried, it will be flush with the outside of the part.

 

[BOO5TED]

But wouldn't it crack if it's too thin though?

 

[AlwaysSomethin]

Not in a hole that small. Could just fill w plastic weld from inside w tape on outside.

 

[BOO5TED]

Gotcha, never had to fill holes that small. :shake:

 

[Ginger]

infact anything much bigger, you would need to fiberglass cloth the inside, to give it support, but not needed in this application

 

[barrrf]

You could probably even use a sandable 2 part epoxy thats not body filler.

Thanks guys

i've got some plastic welders laying in my room if that'd work. Here are the holes. still wondering what the fuck they were for

[D1nman]

Maybe so. Came out of a sunk 2500HD crew. Not sure what the ones on driver side were for, that close to the floor and seat and all
