Stupid newbee!!! Stupid! Stupid!

Stupid newbee!!! Stupid! Stupid!The sad face was more to do with me forgetting, what I had used.
I seem to be misrmembering stuff, a lot more than I used to.

  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.
