I need to fill in a couple holes, about 1/2" in diameter in some brick
and also a couple in some black mortar. I hadn't considered using
mortar, maybe I should, but if I don't what would be the next best
product to use?

Thanks.

Drill new holes in the new light, or in a mounting plate you make for it.


Keep up dummy.

Sounds like former holes are a visual defect for the new light.

Who drills new holes in a light fixture?

The only sensible answer is duck tape. On lunar TV, Gene Cernan used it
to fix the fender of his dune buggy. A lesser man wouldn't have dared
attempt it, wearing astronaut mitts in an environment where objects were
400F in the sun and -200F in the shade.

You win the prize for the best answer in this thread!

Cernan has a terrific sense of humor. The man who had recently bought
the duck tape factory got rich. Friend of Nixon?
