I discovered a neat little trick. It was after several times cleaning out
filler from hinges that I came up with it.

I had a problem getting the filler out of the hinge wire holes. An hobby
knife cleaned up the 1/2" spaces but the holes were really a problem.

I found that plastic trimmer line for the lawn trimmer just slipped in the
holes before I filled. Then when cleaning up, the knife cut the line off and
I could poke out the little pieces very easily.

You may have gathered that I did fill all the way to the top of the
knuckles.

Hope this helps.
