key lead hole filler

[David Ilvedson]

I've got a Sty D with a lot of holes in the keys (before my time)  I'd like to repair this as efficiently as possible.   So, Terry, could write what your careful application might be?   I would imagine:   one side of the key has scrap wood and tape?   other side levels out nicely...?????

I've done it both ways and whereas I sure do like the look of spruce plugs, epoxy is about a gazillion time faster.
 
I use West System epoxy resin and hardener and thicken it with their 410 MicrolightTM low-density filler. It cures to a tan color. This is a fairing filler and is extremely easy to sand - although careful application makes for almost no sanding needed.
