Management is complaining about the holes she can see on the underside
of some flat-pack wall cupboards. They're the access to the cams on the base/side fixings. Is there an easy way to hide them? -- F www.vulcantothesky.org - 2015, the last year to see a Vulcan fly |

Make her wear a blindfold while you're doing her on the worktop?

This sort of thing ? http://www.screwfix.com/p/cross-dowe...FQYewwod8ZEJLQ or the holes for the 6mm bolts that go through the cross dowels. In both cases, assuming you'll not want to dismantle the cabinets in situ but take them down in one piece then you could just plug the holes with a non shrink filler. Getting a flush finish should be easy colour-matching may be a probelem whatever you do. michael adams .... -- F www.vulcantothesky.org - 2015, the last year to see a Vulcan fly |

Is there an easy way to hide them? WE have some flatpack furniture here that came with litte matching circular stickers, which were stuck over the holes for such things. Make something from laminate chipboard edging strips? -- Chris French |

If no joy try screw covers from the likes of B&Q (£1 for 20). http://www.diy.com/departments/bq-m4.../245419_BQ.prd or similar, look about sure you will see something along those lines. |

Apart from blindfolding her or not letting her bend down low enough to see
under things, I would suggest she gets a letter of to the manufacturer as you only did what you are supposed to do.
