: Here's the recurring problem: After some initial fairing, I filled
: staple holes w/ a nail filler type putty. The problem comes when
: I sand w/ the random orbital sander. I would say roughly 40% of
: the holes lose the fill, I think from the vibration. Has anyone
: experienced this problem and found a solution?

I used little slivers of wood, pushed in tight enough to hold on their own without glue. I used lighter coloured woods than WRC because end grain WRC looks dark and doesn't blend well. Some people have said they use toothpicks. It's better to cut them off rather than break them because the break tends to extend beneath the surface of the strips and shows after sanding.
