How to hide screws when using starboard !!!

[ReelyNauti]

I see a lot of you all making projects out of starboard.....

If you want to hide screw heads you do not have to hide them.....

You need 1/4 sheet of same colored board and a "TAPERED" plug cutter...

use appropriate matching "FOSTNER" bit to pre drill holes then a smaller v shaped drill counter sink to drill through

sink screw least 1/3 below surface(1/4 for 3/4 starboard)

Use tapered cutter to cut plugs from 1/4 board....

Use crazy glue and put it on plug edges take plug and hammer in as far as you can without it going below surface ..let stand 5 min....

Use 80 grit to take it down, 120 to smooth and then 180 to fine sand entire area...............

I use a FEIN multi mate it does not swirl so it doesnt destroy finish...

Thanks for that tip.

I didn't think any kind of glue worked on Starboard. It is one slippery product.

The crazy glue "KINDA" works its more the combination of the glue and the taper and hammer that do it ....

But done correctly(practice on a scrap) you can barely see it ....
