I'm making up some flat IDC cables which terminate in a 0.1 inch pitch
IDC header socket. This fits onto a board connector with 9 pins (one
omitted).

Clearly I'd like to fill the unused hole to make it impossible to plug
the things in the wrong way round. I'm probably going to use a blob of
epoxy, but does anyone have their own easy way of doing it?


A long time ago I bought some plastic pegs that you could inset for this
purpose. They were V-shaped to hold into the hole and had a flat very thin
top to cover the hole.

Might well have been RS or Farnell.
