English term or phrase: filler overlay
Hello,
I'm translating a kitchen cabinet installation manual but I don't have the drawings and I can't figure out what a "filler overlay" is.
Here is the sentence : "Pre-drill through the filler and 1/8"" into the remaining filler overlay".
Glossaries and dictionaries I know didn't help.
Any suggestions or websites where I can find more information ?
Thank you for your help and tips ! :)

revêtement
Explanation:
Ovelay is revêtement. What is put over something else. Filler is some kind of bouche-trou, used to fill holes in the wood or the material used to build the furniture. I would use «revêtement» alone, since it covers anything that is under it.

enduit de rebouchage


Explanation:
filler = enduit de rebouchage (pour combler des fissures ou faire de petits scellements.

Quant à "overlay" il pourrait s'agir d'une seconde couche d'enduit recouvrant la première.

joues


Explanation:
Hi
In this site, page 4, you can see one. It's a piece of wood, or of the same material of the kitchen, that serves to hide ugly finitions.
When it covers the hole side of a piece of furniture it is called "joue". But I don't know if it is the same name when it is partial.
When it covers the bottom it is "plinthe" and the top "corniche".
