Thanks everyone for the great input and suggestions. This timely for me as well as I am filling holes as well.

My question is how do you inject the vinyl ester in from the bottom? Easy to understand the tubes and placing in the oversize hole but do you let it dry and then fill in around or do you even fill it in? Is it possible for a scanned hand sketch?

Thanks!
