Hey guys,
Do any of you have any tips, tricks or methods for filling holes where old radiator pipes used to be. The holes are any where from 1/2" to 1 1/2" in diameter. The contractor is being kind of cheap and does not want to pay to have the boards replaced, he just wants the holes plugged.
thanks for the help.

Matt

I've heard cork plugs are a good alternative.

Ive used a wooden dowel a little larger than the hole, rpun in on the edger to make a beveled end, cut it to a little longer than it has to so when I stick in the hole, its raised up a little higher. Glue the hole and the plug, puch it in, wait for the glue to set, sand and walah.
