    Problem with nail gun holes in your projects?

    I just got through attending a cabinet building workshop and the instructor mentioned something that I thought I'd past along. He said that instead of filling said holes with some sort of wood filler that you should use super glue. I thought that was pretty cool and plan on trying it but thought I'd mention it to others. According to him super glue seals the hole with no sanding necessary. Now that would be cool if he's correct.

    I have used superglue otherwise known as CA glue. Place some fine sanding dust in the hole, drip CA glue in it, sprits with a little hardner and it can be sanded in just a few minutes. It is commonly used in woodturning.

          An even better solution is to not use nails! Shop projects, O.K., furniture, nah.

            I watched someone use CA glue as Scott has mentioned. It worked good.
