What can I use to FILL two(2) holes(the size of dimes) that are in the paneling. When they put in the new thermostat box, the old one was bigger so now I have two small holes....its very hollow behind the holes so I need something that will look ok.....thanks :D

Unless you have a hidden section that you could steal from (like a closet or behind a door) It is going to be almost impossible to match up. You can either live with it or do something with the whole wall. I have never seen anyome do a repair that looks right, you end up replacing the panel. Greg

Oh no its not so important I'd be willing to repanel. I just thought there would be something I could fill the holes with...that was a medium brown like the paneling.
