Plugging capstan holes

[David Love]

I have to admit I prefer using plugs for key lead holes (you can buy
premade plugs, which I prefer--I hate cutting plugs).  I have seen some
people use epoxy for this purpose, however.  You will have to mix it with a
generous amount of colloidal silica in order to make it viscous enough to
hold the shape.
