Would ann filler work? How about simple metal rods to just fill the holes? If you don't want metal us HDPE. They should slide out of ice easily.

Use hole plugs or tar paper to cover the holes. Sometimes, the plugs will freeze in the holes which is bad too.
We use cut up conveyor belts and tar paper. Make a tar paper cone and stick it in the hoel to keep out debris, etc. Leave about a foot sticking out to make it easy to remove.
Or, use the conveyor belt to cover the hole. Sometimes, we use both.

Use polyurethane foam (PUF) which comes in portable bags & can be mixed on-site by hand rapidly. The PUF plug is insulating and can be drilled thru rapidly. Contact MineSeal, LLC (
