Epoxy For Belly Grommets?
What do you guys use?:confused:
|
What do ya use for a top coat? It will hold it in if ya push a little under grommet when top coating.
|
3/4" dowel an a hammer= a tite fit.
|
I just use the hammer to shape it to body. Gotta be careful though as it will mark up the paint
|
I made a tool out of a C-Clip tool.The typ when U squeze the handle the pliers spead out. ground it down so's when u stick it in there an sqweeeze it presses to holes through the shank of the grommet into the wood.it's a pretty weird shape on the tool like a big A with a little T on top.No pics I'm a computer moron.

Take a hardwood dowel, same diameter as your plug. Drill grommet hole in it, just a hair bigger than the grommet (so you can get it back out easily). Take a scrap piece of wood and cut a half circle in it that is the same diameter as your plug. Insert the grommet into the dowel, place the half circle over the grommet and smack with a hammer. Your grommet now is bent with the same shape as your plug.

I drill the hole a tad small and press fit it with, of all things ,my drill press. haven't had any fall out.:D
|
Tagger,i can't picture your method in my head:smash: When you get a chance could you post some pics? For some reason i can pound the 7mm in with the mallet and shape them to the plug,but not the larger grommets:( Thanks
