Welcome to the club! Thats why I used an air-tacker with thin brads to "nail" the cabinets together. Much less work to fill up the tiny holes. Screw-holes are a different kind of nightmare!

Best of luck with your build!  ;)

spot putty is for pin holes. you need to do it with a proper polyester filler otherwise you will always see the screws holes.

Never argue with an idiot. The people watching might not know the difference.

Spot putty will work well enough, it just takes a little longer.  The problem with polyester filler is that it shrinks a bit over time.  By using spot putty in layers there will be much less shrinkage, etc.

Okay guys... its crunch-time.

Busy doing some touch-ups here and there. Just finished installing the spikes. Hopefully tonight I will be enjoying sweet music for the pair of red towers!
