    Where to buy binding hole plugs

    Where can I buy plugs in semi bulk (100-500)? My local shop is getting annoyed that I keep coming in for them since they don't technically sell them.

    that's an awful lot of holes to be plugging at once.


    make sure you get the right colors.

    buy a jug for your shop while you're ordering - will be the best 2.89 you ever spent (and cheaper than a sixer)

    Do you have any used holes for sale? I need a few.

    I hear Rontele has a used hole, you may need a pretty big plug.

    hardwood golf tees, epoxy and fiberglass strips.might be a semi good idea to cut the tees down to an appropriate length first(fully depends on how dep your holes are, though). else, i think both tognar and slidewright have the plastic plugs in small oacks and bulk.

    Epoxy putty works well for plugging.

    (Yeah this is an old thread, but it seemed the most appropriate place for this.)

    Being a used gear whore, I usually epoxy wood dowels into old holes instead of using plastic plugs, in case overlapping some holes is necessary on the next mount. Have even used 5/16" hardwood furniture dowels in old holes after removing bad helicoils, just cut the dowels a bit shorter than the hole depth and cover with a skin of epoxy. 1/8" dowel rod works but is a pretty loose fit in old 4.1mm holes.

    Finally found 4mm hardwood dowel rods, and they're cheap: http://www.agesofsail.com/ecommerce/...ood-dowel.html
