Stupid newbee!!! Stupid! Stupid!

Stupid newbee!!! Stupid! Stupid!Why the sad face? Every time I have used plugs, I have used epoxy. Just seems to me that if you are working with an old block, epoxy seeping around, filling voids, cracks, and delaminating areas perhaps has more potential for a very strong end product. Makes me sleep better anyway.

YMMV.

  I don't know, why I said epoxy, as any time I have used plugs, I used glue. :-(

    Someone mentioned setting the plug in with epoxy, so it bears pointing out that the tight fit suggested below would be for a glue joint. If you are using epoxy (like West System - I usually use it unthickened), you want to make the hole slightly larger than the plug.

      I'd make that a 31/64" hole for the 32/64 (1/2") plug,
      metric would be so much easier.
