[Shop-talk] Plugging holes in refrigerators

[Scott Hall]

I have acquired a kegerator. It lives in the garage.

(This has impacted my efficiency in the shop.)

The previous owner drilled two holes in side of the unit for drain and gas
lines. I don't have a floor drain, so my drain line is going to a bucket in
the unit, and my gas tank lives in there, too.

I finally got around to cleaning up those lines and now I have two
irregular holes in the side of my kegerator, leaking out 34° air.

Whomever did these was not interested in his workmanship. They're .5 inch
by .75 inch, more or less, so round plugs really don't work. The sheet
metal is also pretty jagged. I thought about drilling then out to a uniform
shape, but I really don't want to make them bigger.

I could masking tape one side and spray foam them, but I'm hoping the
outside could be a little more permanent.

Anybody have thoughts? All opinions welcome.
