  • Patent number: 5302205
    Abstract: A tool for guiding filler material, such as caulking or putty, into a nail hole or similar opening in a structure so that a smooth, unblemished finished surface may be obtained. The tool comprises a thin plate having a plurality of holes therethrough, the holes being of different diameters; and a handle attached to one end of the plate. In use, the plate is positioned so that a hole in the plate is aligned with a nail hole and filler material is urged through the hole in the plate to fill the nail hole. The handle is oriented at a low angle in relation to the plate so that the user may rest his hand on the structure to steady the tool while guiding filler material into an opening. The holes are of different diameter to provide a hole which may be of substantially the same diameter as the nail hole being filled. The holes are perpendicular to a tangential surface have a wider diameter at the bottom of the plate than at the top of the plate.
