Dale, I usually use 1/8" maple dowel. It's easy to cut with my shank nippers. of course this gives you an extra step of drilling with an 1/8" bit, so you have a good fit for the dowel. Actually, it doesn't take much time to do this step, as you're not interested in "accuracy", but just to size the holes. I've had the same problem with filling the voids with epoxy, in the "pre-capping operation. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
