    I would drill out the pin hole to the size of a copper or silver
    wire that I had on hand, insert the wire, and then solder it in place
    with silver solder. Then I'd cut off the protruding wire and refinish
    the area. Sometimes you can even just do this by riveting it in,
    without using any solder at all. I think it is worth it to be able to
    make a vulcanized mold.
