What to use to fill holes in chipboard?

Question

I've been fitting cupboard doors on to my units (chipboard) but have had a few accidents (few slips of the drill etc.) Basically I need to fill in some holes in the chipboard and be confident I can drill/s***w back over the filling. What would you advise using for this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Plastic wood.

Answer 2

Any Diy shop will have a suitable fillling

Answer 3

ordinary wood filler,comes in many colors if you need to match

Answer 4

Two part epoxy filler ("Plastic Padding") - stronger than the chipboard.

Answer 5

actually most fillers you buy will be too soft to re s***w into with the possible exceptions of a car filler or construction adhesive (gripfill)... i am a carpenter/joiner and find a matchstick glued in the hole works ok, provided it is firmly glued and wedged (use more than 1 if you need) allow the glue to dry,break off the excess and drill a small pilot hole with your drill before entering s***w. hope this helps
