You can cover up pin nail holes by using wood filler.
Here's a more detailed explanation based on the reference:
The provided reference suggests using DAP premium wood filler to fill in the pin nail holes. The video excerpt shows a person adding brad nails to trim and then directly applying wood filler to conceal the resulting holes.
Here's a general process for filling nail holes, which would apply to pin nail holes as well:
- Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or debris.
- Application: Apply a small amount of wood filler to the nail hole using your finger or a putty knife. Slightly overfill the hole, as the filler may shrink as it dries.
- Drying: Allow the wood filler to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Sanding: Once dry, sand the area smooth with fine-grit sandpaper until it is flush with the surrounding surface.
- Finishing: Apply paint, stain, or another desired finish to match the surrounding area.
