Hole in the prop.  If the hole is in the center, like a two inch hole, then 
this is used to make up the prop during construction and drilling but to 
help in balancing as well.  When the job is done it is usually painted over 
with hot wax.  This keep the moisture out.  This is a must.  Always store 
and while on the plane keep the prop blade in the horizontal position. If it 
is a two blade prop. This keep the moisture if any from being heavy on one 
end.  With a three blade then it don't matter but with the hole waxed, then 
the problem is less. Just my two cents.
