Ok, I can't decide what to use to plug a hole in a pipe I drilled through (some of u remember the post)
I see recipes for 'pipe mud' (seems like a messy bother) and other things to plug holes with I just don't know what the best is to use. I was thinking of using that fire retardant hole filler, then worried about chemicals leaching into the wood. Same for that syringe applied epoxy stuff at Canadian Tire, the thought of chemicals come to mind again.
The hole is not in the bowl but below the draught hole straight out the bottom of the pipe. If I could post a pic I would to make it easier but I cannot. I was thinking of filling it with a mixture of wood glue and hardwood sawdust or just plugging it with a small dowel and some wood glue or krazy glue to hold the dowel in place. The hole is 5/32" and I just can't figure out what to use. I don't want to send the pipe away due to the fact that shipping and repair will be equal in worth to the pipe itself and I could just buy a new one at that rate (if I could find another one).
I'm leaning towards the small dowel and glue idea but I'm open for other suggestions that aren't messy or a PITA.
