Group: Forum Members Posts: 36, Visits: 118	Hi all, I have made a few parts which have a few pin holes, whats the best/easiest method for removing these, do you just mix a bit of resin with fast hardener and keep applying until the hole is filled and then flat off or is there a better method? cheers Lee.

This was the first out of the new mould so I expected one or two issues but pinholes is not one of them. The SHD material really is an amazing OOA product..
