Remove Plug to Repair Holes in Furniture

Video Transcript

"Ok. Our first plug came out pretty easy, just by drilling a small hole inserting a screw and wiggling it and pulling it out. If that doesn't work, the next method we're going to try is drilling small holes around the edge of the plug very very close to the edge and injecting hot water. So, I've set up my drill with a real tiny bit. And, I'm going to drill. I'm going to start by drilling four holes. Now, this is usually done when you need to save the plug. Like I said before, sometimes your plug is going to be a particular color, a particular kind of wood. And, you need to save the plug. Now, these little holes will show up when we reinsert the plug. They can be covered up by wax stick the same way we did with the first plug. These wax sticks are available at your local lumber store. And, they come in a variety of colors. And, so when we're done with this plug you'll just take your wax stick and rub it in the holes. And it will hide these little holes."
