Hi,
I have some Oak skirting boards to fit over the weekend. I'd like to screw these in, however I'm a bit lost when it comes to hiding/filling the countersinks. I don't have a pillar drill, which seems to be mandatory to use plug cutters - so I'm not sure how to go about filling these holes with a grain match. Is there an alternative I'm missing ?
Edit: would it work to clamp a scrap piece of timber on top of the skirt to take the plug out of, drilling into that first then the plug cutter can't skew off once its gone through the scrap wood?
