Marcel asked: "I was just wondering what you guys use to cover the agraffes' holes when you refinish a plate. It's been so long that I don't remember.

I guess not remembering must be part of the wisdom age. ;-)"

Marcel,
My refinisher uses those decrative upholstery tacks/nails. I usually, if I'm doing a rattlecan thingee, use pieces of wood dowel rod 'screwed' into the holes. Then I use a milling bit to clean the paint off of the agraffe seat area.
Hope that helps.
Joe
