My early 50's era home had numerous holes in the walls from where previous owners had installed drapery hardware, etc. Because some of the holes had been reamed out, it was difficult to repair them. I decided to try using wine bottle corks! It worked perfectly! I tapped the corks into the holes and countersank them a little. I then spackled the area, sanded lightly, and painted. Worked like a charm!

Have a question about this project?
some corks are aplastic like cork while others are real cork. Does this work on both?
The ones that look like regular corks but made of a plastic like material would not need to be boiled
On the wine corks on the cabinet doors how do you affix them to the doors, I did not see you use any adhesive of any sort, could you please advise me on what you used for adhesive, thank you for any suggestion you give

Does the wine cork stay pliable after the initial time of boiling in water or do you have to repeat this step later? In other words after a length of time of not using the corks do the corks go back to being hard and not pliable?
they stay pliable for a while, but corks do dry out and become hard again.
