It is also possible with a balsa core to pick out the core with a bent wire or 
other steel curved hook going into the side wall of the hole so you don’t have 
to over drill from either side.  You have to make sure you get it all so the 
epoxy will seal the core.  Hard to do with a small <1/4” hole but i have 
managed for 5/16 and works well on 3/8 and larger.  Then put tape on the bottom 
and fill with epoxy and redrill when cured.  Useful when you can’t get a drill 
to the underside and don’t want to overdrill the top as discussed.
