How to fix an air hole that is too big?

[anavidfan]

Hello everyone. I few months ago someone had a similar situation where the atty had an air hole drilled too wide.

I remember someone had posted that you can use some sort of material to plug the hole, let it harden and then redrill a smaller size air hole. I cant find the thread and hope someone remembered or knows how one can "fix the hole"

i used jb weld on my did clone, worked quite well till i decided the bigger hole was better for my taste lol, had to re drill it

Its more similar to epoxy, mix two tubes, put it on, let it dry.

You can also jam a syringe needle tip in there and cut and sand it flush.

Similar to the needle fix-
I overshot on my AGI and used the head from a pop rivet. Filed the "tube" part down to fit very tightly in the hole, knocked the head off and then filed it to fit flush. I was then able to re-drill the hole to the correct size and it works perfectly. Looks a little odd but I actually like it.
