this probably is a newbie question, but how do you plug a vent hole?
plug thumb hole then vent? Do i dill the vent hole out a little and plug it?
thanks

Cover the vent hole and plug the thumb as you normally would. The material will seep up out from the top of the vent hole otherwise.
After 5 -10 minutes you might need to add a small amount into the thumb hole to replace what went up into the vent hole.

I've always drilled out the vent hole with a 7/16 bit and poured the holes about half way up. A few hours later, pour the rest of the plug.

If vent hole is close enough to thumb, I put dam around both and plug both at once. If not, most plug dams come with a solid piece in the center of the cut sizes. I place dam around thumb and pour my plug in thumb then right when plug starts to come out of vent hole, I put the piece of foam over vent hole. This allows air to escape, but put foam (or masking tape) over hole before plug exits or you will not get it to stick.
