Thank you for clarifying, Will. May I assume that since most plastic
isn't fibrous also, that it wouldn't work (well) on that (the
original topic, after all)?
I have to admit that I'd just carve a wood splint to fit, dip it in
some glue and drive it into the hole, cut it off flush and treat the
situation as if there was no hole to start with.
