what is the best way to stop the wire from being able to turn?
sorry for sounding dumb, but i just finished my first plug.

Make sure you make the tail wraps tight to the tail of the plug.

i got it as tight as i could, maybe im using the wrong type of pliers?

Practice, practice, practice

a glob of epoxy will stop it from spinning if it's too loose.

check the search feature, Newell Guy has a great how to post there.
