A void-filling apparatus is disclosed. The void-filling apparatus may include multiple end pieces secured together by multiple cylindrical elements. The end pieces may include a sheet (or sheets) of material secured to a panel, which may include a honeycomb panel. Each of the cylindrical elements may fit into a respective opening in the first and second end pieces. In some instances, the end pieces and the cylindrical elements are made of paper-based materials. However, the end pieces and the cylindrical elements are made of a paper-based material may be covered by a liquid-resistant material, resulting in a liquid-resistant void-filling apparatus. In order to maintain engagement between the cylindrical elements and the end pieces, the openings (into which the cylindrical elements are inserted) may include a diameter to promote a compression fit. Adhesive securing may also be used. Also, adjacent cylindrical elements may be equidistant from each other.
