Fix drill hole in linoleum mat?

[Sofie_A]

I have a linoleum mat with drilled holes and I'm considering what I can fill them with, silicone, some type of hot glue, or other adhesive?

Anyone who has filled holes in linoleum?

I think, without having tested it myself, that all of your suggestions sound completely useful. Since silicone is specifically used to seal penetrations and openings. The glue gun probably works too, but I believe silicone is better.

It depends a bit on how big the holes are? If they are up to 10 mm, I think I would have punched out repair pieces from the carpet under a skirting board, for example, to repair with.

It seems like testing with silicone might be the way to go; it's about steps, so putting pieces under a threshold unfortunately won't work, otherwise, it could have been a good idea.

It's dark green as well, so if you fill the holes with something, it won't be very noticeable, as long as you find something that really stays in the hole. There was a stair lift installed in the stairs, which is why it's holey.
