    WELDING vent holes….

    Is it possible for one inch holes drilled into a prop to be welded or plugged up so they dont vent? Is there another way to plug the holes without welding them?

    A lot of folks epoxy them shut too. You can always take it to a prop shop& have them close them up.

    I pretty sure BBLADES uses 1" holes in their props and they sell 1" plugs with various size openings. Give them a call.
