Hello folks,

Trying to coat the inside of a half inch hole about 13/16 deep not sure what the best way to do it is. Any ideas? Sorry I am new to this so forgive me if there is any missing info.

Thanks

The hole is in white maple.

13/16 inches.

The part is a propeller blade and the holes are at the root. I would like to line them with 3 layers of carbon fiber like the rest of the part.

I had a couple of ideas but have not had the chance to try them yet:

1. mix epoxy and hardner with pieces of the fibre, fill the hole then drill it.

2. turn carbon fiber strands around a dowel or something, fit it in then drill that.
