In that case, try HF. I use these larger ones most often:

and just bought a set of these on sale @ $4:

That is it,I forgot about HF,I think Google now is mostly about
advertizing,I've been looking for the last four days and HF nevercame
up once,I think I tried every combination,bellhanger,aircraft
etc,nothing for HF.I'm starting to have my doubts about Google. Thanks
anyway

Some sites don't give search-engine-friendly (SEF) URLs. HF must be
one of those. Otherwise, Google still gives me the best hits, though
I sometimes have to refine my searches according to the outcome of the
first and second peeks.

1/8" is a good compromise between size of hole to patch and a drill that
is stiff enough to be able to just drill the hole without supporting the
center.
