How do I fill a hole in my Trex fence post?

If you have a small hole in your Trex fence post (or any component for that matter), create a plug with discarded composite material. 

There are a variety of ways to do this. If you don't have tools to plunge route plugs, you can use small pieces of discarded material to fill the hole. An easy method is to use the sawdust created after cutting Trex materials, compress it with your fingers, and put the material into the hole. 

Use a mallet to tap it in tightly then carefully scrape any excess with a putty knife. As the product weathers, the hole will be less visible, but you could use a drop of stain or WD-40 to darken the plugged hole. A cleaner approach is to use a plunge router and bit to make a plug. This would be the preferred method for larger holes. Measure the hole and create a plug, tap it in place with a mallet and add a drop of stain if necessary.
